Is Napoleon Dynamite set to hit the ice with Will Ferrell?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a bit of news on the comedy front. There's a flick called BLADES OF GLORY that Ben Stiller is producing that looks to have nabbed Will Ferrell and Jon Heder as the leads, a pair of male figure skaters. These guys are banned from the sport for getting into fisticuffs during the Winter Games. Years go by and the two enemies decide to work together in order to exploit a loophole in their banning which would allow them to compete in the pairs figure skating portion.

This could be very bad just based on the description, but with the two guys bouncing off each other... Heder and Ferrell... I don't know. Something tells me this could be really damned funny. It sounds stupid, but so does 90% of the comedies I love if you break them down to a few lines of synopsis. It's all about how well the script and gags are written combined with Heder and Ferrell's chemistry. What do you folks think?
