I would buy tickets today to see the new Sherlock Holmes now that I found out Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen have been cast as the fictional detectives. It's already funny and it hasn't even been shot yet! 

Ali G funnyman Cohen will play the pipe-smoking sleuth, with Ferrell as his partner Watson in the as-yet-untitled film. Matt Tolmach, co-president of production for Columbia Pictures, tells Variety.com,

"Just the idea of Sacha and Will as Sherlock Holmes and Watson makes us laugh. Sacha and Will are two of the funniest and most talented guys on the planet, and having them take on these two iconic characters is frankly hilarious."

In other news, have you seen the trailer for Farrell's new movie, Stepbrother? I caught the R rated one at the movies this weekend and it was hilarious. The one I posted above is the friendlier version just to keep it clean for work and kids.  If you aren't around any of them, click on the continue reading link below to see the other.
