Will Ferrell to star in Spanish-language comedy??

I
think this story must be a joke of some kind, or some kind of FUNNY OR DIE
skit that actor Will Ferrell and director Adam McKay have worked out, but
according to The
Wrap, Ferrell has signed on to star in a Spanish-language comedy.
That’s right…a Spanish-language comedy (and Ferrell doesn’t speak
Spanish just yet). The film is called CASA DE MI PADRE (or HOUSE OF MY
FATHER for those non-Spanish speaking people out there), would be
subtitled in English apparently and would start shooting in California in
September. The
Hollywood Reporter is also reporting that the deal isn’t necessarily
something Ferrell wanted to do, but was the result of a lawsuit against
the company producing the film (Gary Sanchez Productions). “Ferrell’s
participation is part of a closed-door settlement between both parties.”
They claim that they have one month to teach Ferrell how to speak Spanish.
I don’t know…this thing just doesn’t add up. I get the feeling we’ll be
updating this story pretty soon with more specific details…
