With You’re Cordially Invited the #1 streaming film on Prime Video, Amazon MGM has quickly snagged Will Ferrell and director Nicholas Stoller for a new comedy. And this time Ferrell will be co-starring with Zac Efron. Deadline reports the trio will team up on an untitled comedy that Stoller will direct from his own screenplay.
The new comedy centers on “a young convict (Efron) fresh out of prison who takes a reality TV courtroom hostage blaming the megalomaniac TV judge (Ferrell) for a past ruling that the convict feels ruined his life.”
This brings Efron back under the Amazon MGM umbrella following last year’s comedy Ricky Stanicky.
Coming up for Efron is the Jody Hill celebrity thriller Famous alongside Phoebe Dynevor. He was last seen opposite Nicole Kidman in the Netflix rom-com A Family Affair. He previously worked with Stoller on Neighbors and the sequel Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising.
Ferrell can be seen right now with Reese Witherspoon in You’re Cordially Invited. He kept busy in 2024 with the award-winning documentary Will & Harper, and his voice role in Despicable Me 4.
