Will Ferrell To Play Crazed Racist In TWO FACE, Scripted By X-FILES Vet Vince Gilligan??
I am – Hercules!!
Before Will Ferrell plays John Watson in Judd Apatow's untitled Sherlock Holmes comedy, he hopes to star in “Two Face,” written by Vince Gilligan (“The X-Files,” “Breaking Bad,” “Hancock”).
Variety offers the logline:
Ferrell is attached to play the title character, a racist who, after a prank gone awry, develops a split personality.
I guessed one of the personalities is still racist, while the other is really, really racist -- but the Hollywood Reporter reports the new personality is a bleeding-heart liberal.

People will want there money back when there's no Aaron Eckhart in it.
-
Homonyms are my archenemy.
-
..unoriginal and unfunny.. ..I don't know how you people like Ferrell
-
can't wait to find out what the prank is...
-
would have been hilarious.
-
Ferrel trying to become a 'serious' actor? oh boy...
-
As long as he doesnt resort to the "crazy and lost" type of roles that Carrey seems to choose when he does drama's. Ferrell was alright in Stranger Than Fiction.
-
“The X-Files,” “Breaking Bad,” “Hancock”<p>jesus...that's like a professional chef at a huge food tasting coming out saying, "we're going to have a gorgeous foie gras to start, then coq au vin as the main course, and then I'm going to literally spew hot diarrhea into a crystal bowl for your dessert. bon appetit!"

Will one half of his face be black, and the other white?
by blackmantis
Lame concept.
-
Yeah, not even Jim Carrey would do this. Hoever, something tells Sam Jackson would be all over this..
-
A LOT.
-
Wow, and TDK hasn't even released yet! But I don't get why they are replacing Aaron Eckhart with Will Ferrel...not only is that in poor taste as the studio hasn't even seen the public's reaction to Aaron Eckhart's Two-Face yet...but I just can't see WIll Ferrel in the role....seems like a BAD CHOICE to me. Shame on Warner Brothers...
-
Fuck this then!!! Fuck anything that has to do with it!!!

Will Will Ferrell's Dr. Watson Yell A Lot, Inappropriately?
by Aquatarkusman
Cause THAT'S A PERFORMANCE I COULD REALLY DIG. Seriously, I've seen funnier footage than the Stepbrothers trailer in puppy euthanasia videos.

inept man boy

He nees to do ANCHORMAN 2 before I completely hate him.

NOW!!

... stop dragging John C. Reilly into your own personal vortex of unfunny hell. He actually used to be a decent actor.
-
sucked. large. please don't repeat it.
-
How about that
-
and two face also
-
No one else sees this as a faggy attempt to redo Me, Myself and Irene? Sounds kind of lame....hopefully it's better than his recent work (Semi-Pro) and Stepbrothers looks awful. Will is quickly turning into a Mike Meyers has-been.
-
About an aging bluesman who must return to the Delta to raise a granddaughter he never even knew about.
-
Michael Clarke Duncan in Talladega Nights, Romany Malco in Blades of Glory, Queen Latifah in Stranger Than Fiction, Faizon Love in Elf and Nathan Lee Graham in Zoolander. Just of the top of my head you dick. Don't call people racists without facts. This movie will be hilarious because Will Ferrell is hilarious.
-
A feel good romantic comedy that spans the globe as two lovers are separated on their honeymoon and must find each other using only their hearts and their intuition.
-
years back I remember this being announced as a Spike Lee Joint with Steve Martin set to star. Wonder how much of a re-write its been through.
-
Everything he touches turns to shit.

Warner Lawyers will be all over this like Africanized bees.
by Uncle Stan
-
the one personality is racist and the other is a black man.... Man Ferrell needs to take a break, or do something different like Sandler. His movies are starting to suck.
-
Early 70s movie about a racist white guy who wakes up black one morning. It was really good.
-
A Spin-off to the Dark Knight starring Harvey Two-Face! But, Eckhart isn't returning? He's being played by Will Ferrell?<p> Boo...
-
I was just thinking about it and, c'mon, Superman can't have a kid.
-
This will only work if Ferrel has a scene where he sings "oh dem golden slippers"
-
When you mean "strongly dislike due to its rampant unfunniness, repetition, and phoning-it-in quality." OH MY GOD A BUNK BED COLLAPSED ON ITSELF! HOLY SHIT HE TOLD SOMEBODY TO SHUT THEIR FACE!
-
Keenan Wynn turns black in Francis Ford Coppola's "Finian's Rainbow"... personally, I'm hoping for a reprise of The Thing With Two Heads (white racist's head grafted on to a black man's body), so that he can misuse Michael Clarke Duncan again.
-
You fucking talkbackers hate everything so much, why don't you do something about it instead of bitching all the time.......Oh wait, you people have even less talent than the people you bitch about
-
Yeah. Busy being a REAL racist!--OOOOOOH SNAP, bitches!
-
I mean it.
-
And to follow this up, Will Ferrell will be starring in CLAYFACE, about a guy whose face can be shaped like clay. And he's a racist.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if the movie turns out to be not so great, but who knows?
-
That's the last thing I want to see. Why? Because the "racist" will inevitably be portrayed as a "conservative". Will Ferrel is as liberal as the day is long so I can guarantee you that he will inject some of that animosity into the "bad" personality.
-
is very, very, very lame.

I have a copy of the script "by Vince Gilligan and Spike Lee"
by Doc_McCoy
Dated "Fall '96". I assume the "and" (as opposed to "&") means they weren't writing together. So are we to assume that whatever rewriting Spike did will be ignored and this is entirely a Vince writing/directing project now?
