this might actually be funny...only because ferrell is a costar and not the lead. he's way funnier when he doesn't have to carry the entire 90 minutes

Yeah, this sounds great on paper. However, I'm naturally suspicious of anything with Will Ferrell or Judd Apatow. Not that those 2 haven't done good stuff. They've just proven that they can make complete garbage as well.

I hope it's R, and they portray Holmes as the Cocaine fiend that he was. . .

You know... Sacha physically speaking would make a pretty damn good Holmes! I can definitely see potential in this pairing. Whether the studio will capitalize on that potential... unlikely.
