I am – Hercules!!

John Altshuler and David Krinsky, the “King of the Hill” writers who penned the Will Ferrell skating comedy “Blades of Glory,” appear to have landed Steve Carell to star in their latest big-screen effort, “Brigadier Gerard,” based on the stories by Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle.

The Hollywood Reporter describes the premise:

Carell would play Etienne Gerard, a soldier who considers himself a gallant swordsman but whose actual skills often pale in comparison to his own conception of them.

No director has yet been attached.
