Will Ferrell and
Jack Black, who had a moment in
Anchorman (Black punted Ferrell’s dog off a bridge) haven’t had an opportunity to work together. Until now.
Ferrell and Black are
reportedly slated to star in
Tag Brothers, a comedy pitch based on a real life occurrence, one that gained national attention thanks to a piece in the
Wall Street Journal.
Mark Steilen (The Settlement) penned the script based on,
a group of former classmates from Spokane, Washington whose long-running game of Tag garnered national attention following a feature story in the Wall Street Journal. Now in their 40s, the group spends the month of February chasing each other across the country to avoid being “It,” all while balancing their personal and professional obligations. The shenanigans are pretty serious, with friends breaking into each other’s homes and offices to score that crucial physical contact.
The comic duo are still waiting to see how the script turns out.
Ferrell is in the midst of filming the highly-anticipated
Anchorman sequel, which Paramount will release on December 20th, 2013, while Black recently starred in the Richard Linklater’s crime dramedy
Bernie.
Stay tuned.
