Ferrell Plays Basketball?
Filed under: Comedy, RumorMonger, DIY/Filmmaking
Since no official announcement has been made, we're going to chuck this one into the rumor pile. According to a story in The Pioneer Press, Will Ferrell will begin filming a movie in February that revolves around the American Basketball Association. Say what? Basketball? Will Ferrell?
If the rumor turns out to be true, this would mark Ferrell's fourth sports-related comedy, after previously starring in Kicking and Screaming, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and the upcoming Blades of Glory. Now, I have no idea where this information is coming from -- nothing on IMDB or in the trades -- though, perhaps, this is the third film in Ferrell and Adam Mckay's every man trilogy (Anchorman, Talladega Nights)? Seeing as the two men recently signed a two-year, first-look deal with Paramount Vantage, it all seems to fit together quite nicely. Stay tuned for more information as it's dished out.

Ferrell was on the Dan Patrick show on ESPN radio earlier this week and confirmed the movie. He said he is going to be a player in the ABA right before the merger, and his team is fighting for the last spot in the NBA. He then said he would like it to be the basketball version of Slap Shot.
