Adam McKay and Will Ferrell about to SWEAR TO GOD

Courtney Howard June 29, 2011 1

I can’t think of a better comedy screen team than director Adam McKay and actor Will Ferrell. They are like a cinematic peanut butter and jelly sandwich, making tasty hits out of THE OTHER GUYS, TALLADEGA NIGHTS: THE BALLAD OF RICKY BOBBY, and my personal favorite, ANCHORMAN. According to Deadline, Warner Brothers is eager to pair this comedic duo together again to make SWEAR TO GOD, a buddy comedy in which Ferrell plays a narcissistic hedge fund manager who thinks he has seen God.

The script is written by Alan Cohen and Alan Freedland, who wrote the semi-successful DUE DATE for the studio. No word on who will play Ferrell’s buddy in the film either, but I would suspect phone calls are currently being made to former co-stars John C. Reilly and Mark Wahlberg.

Are you eager to have your funny bone tickled by McKay and Ferrell again? Is this something you’d be interested in seeing? Weigh in below.

Born and raised in Northern California, Courtney has had a love of Hollywood ever since seeing her first film in theaters at age 6 (E.T. THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL). In 8th grade she was voted most likely to work with the Hollywood elite, and was the only girl in her high school to have a subscription to Entertainment Weekly. Majoring in film at BIOLA University taught her more about the movie making craft and film theory. She also possesses a wealth of useless knowledge of celebrities’ careers and personal lives, which she put to good use during tryouts for the VH1 game show THE WORLD SERIES OF POP CULTURE. Courtney now resides in Southern CA with her husband and perfect little dachshund.
