Movie News!
CAROLINE: There’s a new Sherlock Holmes comedy coming to the big screen and you’ll never guess who’s playing the title character!
RYAN: Please tell me it’s not Ben Stiller.
CAROLINE: Hell to the no! It’s one of our favorites, Sacha Baron Cohen.
RYAN: I love that! How perfect. Who’s going to play Watson?
CAROLINE: Well, that’s the bad news. It’s Will Ferrell. But with this kind of role, hopefully he can break away from his usual shtick.
RYAN: I think he can. We’ve liked him a lot in his movies that aren’t in his typical failed sports hero genre.
CAROLINE: And there’s other good news: Judd Apatow is producing!
RYAN: This just gets better and better!
CAROLINE: Interestingly, there’s already another Sherlock Holmes movie in the works to be directed by Madonna’s alleged soon-to-be ex-husband, Guy Ritchie.
RYAN: That’s sure to be more of a drama/action movie.
CAROLINE: I would think so. I’m just so psyched that Sacha Baron Cohen is being taken seriously as a comedic actor. And don’t forget, he and Will Ferrell were in “Talladega Nights” together, so they probably already have good chemistry.
RYAN: I have high hopes for this movie.
CAROLINE: As you should.
