According to Variety, Will Ferrell has joined the cast of the dramatic comedy Two Face.
The screenplay was written by Vince Gilligan (Hancock) for Sony Pictures and follows the story of a racist man who develops a second personality after being the victim of a prank that backfires.
The project first got the star’s attention three years ago, but has only had the green light for a year. A director has not yet been hired, but one should be in place before Ferrell begins shooting Sherlock Holmes in 2009.
Will Ferrell will next star in the film Step Brothers, which hits theatres on July 25.
