Hugh Laurie & Ralph Fiennes Set To Join Will Ferrell In Holmes and Watson

January 8, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Back in August it was revealed that Stepbrothers and Talladega Nights co-stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are reuniting for Holmes and Watson. Now they have some company, as Ralph Fiennes and Hugh Laurie have joined the movie, according to THR.

Ferrell is set to be Sherlock Holmes in this comedy take on Arthur Conan Doyle’s detective, with Reilly as Watson. It’s not known who Laurie and Fiennes will be, although they will apparently ‘slip on the shoes of two beloved characters from the Holmes oeuvre’. That likely means one of them will be Moriarty, with the other either as Holmes’ brother Mycroft, or Inspector Lestrade.

Etan Cohen is writing and directing the movie, which is already shooting in London. The movie is due out in 2018.

Will Ferrell & John C. Reilly Reuniting For Holmes and Watson

August 17, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

will-ferrell-john-c-reillySherlock Holmes already holds the record for the literary character with the most on-screen adaptations. Now it looks like he might be getting another one, with time turning the famous detective more comic, as Deadline reports that Stepbrothers and Talladega Nights co-stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are reuniting for Holmes and Watson.

The movie will give Sherlock a PG-13 comic spin, with Ferrell and Holmes and Reilly as Watson. Previously it was going to be Ferrell and Sasha Baron Cohen, but after the Borat actor left, Sony quickly replaced him with Reilly, with plans to push is into production soon.

Etan Cohen, who directed Ferrell in Get Hard, is set to helm the movie. The movie will go into production at the end of the year, for release in 2017.

Tropic Thunder Writer Etan Cohen To Direct Will Ferrell & Kevin Hart InGet Hard

September 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Etan-CohenEtan Cohen, who’s probably best known for co-writing Tropic Thunder, has signed up to direct Warner Bros’ comedy Get Hard, according to Variety. Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart have been attached to star in since December.

The film is about an affluent investment banker (Ferrell) who is sent to prison for a crime he didn’t commit (nobody in films goes to prison for crimes they did commit – except for maybe the bad guy at the end). Before he is locked up, he ‘trains’ for prison life with the man who washes his car (Kevin Hart).

Warner Bros. wants to start shooting as soon as possible, as they want to get it in the can before the actors commit to any other movies. Etan Cohen’s feature directorial debut was supposed to Daddy’s Home, which also has Will Ferrell attached to star, but now Get Hard is likely to come first.

Vince-VaughnVince Vaughn seems to be enjoying collaborating with old friend at the moment, as he’s got The Internship with Owen Wilson in cinemas this summer, and now THR reveals he’s teaming up with Will Ferrell for Daddy’s Home.

They’ve previously appeared together in Old School, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Wedding Crashers and Starsky & Hutch.

Etan Cohen will make his directorial debut with the movie. He’s a screenwriter by trade, having worked on the likes of Idiocracy, Tropic Thunder, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, and Men in Black 3.
