Another day, another new project in Hollywood. Zac Efron, 37, and Will Ferrell, 57, are reportedly teaming up for a new movie. Get details on the comedy, ahead. Hint: It combines prison and courtroom TV.Â
According to a Deadline report, Ferrell is working with Amazon MGM Studios fresh off the success of Youâre Cordially Invited. The movie, which stars the Elf alum and Reese Witherspoon, began streaming on Jan. 30, 2025, and is currently the No. 1 movie worldwide on Prime Video. Â
Sources claimed Amazon MGM Studios is, as the outlet put it, âramping up pre-productionâ on a comedy starring Ferrell and Efron. Similar to Youâre Cordially Invited, some of the same team will return, specifically the reunion of Ferrell and director Nicholas Stoller, who also penned the script.Â
While there arenât many details to share about the Ferrell and Efron movieâno title, premiere date, cast details, or trailerâwhat itâs about has been revealed.Â
The new comedy is about a young convict, played by Efron, who takes a reality TV courtroom hostage shortly after his prison sentence ends.Â
Why? Because he blames the âmegalomaniacâ judge, played by Ferrell, for a past ruling that he feels ruined his life.Â
