The comedy team behind Talladega Nights and Step Brothers are headed back to the big screen, this time in an adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. The Shake and Bake version follows a string of successful movie and TV versions of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic detective story, including Benedict Cumberbatch’s binge-worthy TV series Sherlock and Robert Downey Jr.’s action blockbusters.
According to Deadline, Ferrell will play Holmes and Reilly will be Watson in the PG-13 comedy directed by Ethan Cohen (one of the creative minds behind comedies including Idiocracy, Tropic Thunder and Get Hard).
