Will Ferrell and Jon Heder set to star in 'Blades of Glory'

The comedy actors will team up for men's figure skating flick.

Nov 17 2005

Funnymen Will Ferrell and Jon Heder are rumoured to be donning their lycra suits to star in the ice skating comedy 'Blades of Glory'.

The two leads will play rival figure skaters who, formerly banned from the men's singles competition of the winter Olympics a few years earlier, join forces to compete in the pairs section of the games.

In the meantime, Ferrell can be seen starring in 'The Producers', which hits the big screen in December, and 'Napoleon Dynamite' star Heder, will be starring alongside Rob Schneider in another sporting comedy 'The Benchmakers'.

Producer Ben Stiller will undoubtedly appear in a cameo role in 'Blades of Glory' to make it a surefire comedy hit. We think roping in Jon Bon Jovi to do a spoof cover of his song would do the trick!

    I think Michael secretly owns Bon Jovi's entire body of work and has his posters on the ceiling so he can stare at them while he is falling asleep. Posted on Mar 26 2007 11:19
