<p id=”par-2_47″>According to a <a href=”https://deadline.com/2025/02/zac-efron-will-ferrell-amazon-mgm-studios-1236275565/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Deadline</a> report, Ferrell is working with Amazon MGM Studios fresh off the success of <em>You’re Cordially Invited</em>. The movie, which stars the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/elf-will-ferrell-roasted-james-caan-bold-wrap-gift.html/”><em>Elf </em>alum</a> and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/reese-witherspoon/”>Reese Witherspoon</a>, began streaming on Jan. 30, 2025, and is currently the No. 1 movie worldwide on <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/amazon-prime-video/”>Prime Video</a>. </p>
<p id=”par-3_47″>Sources claimed Amazon MGM Studios is, as the outlet put it, “ramping up pre-production” on a comedy starring Ferrell and Efron. Similar to <em>You’re Cordially Invited</em>, some of the same team will return, specifically the reunion of Ferrell and director Nicholas Stoller, who also penned the script. </p>

<p id=”par-4_25″>While there aren’t many details to share about the Ferrell and Efron movie—no title, premiere date, cast details, or trailer—what it’s about has been revealed. </p>
<p id=”par-5_24″>The new comedy is about a young convict, played by Efron, who takes a reality TV courtroom hostage shortly after his prison sentence ends. </p>
<p id=”par-6_20″>Why? Because he blames the “megalomaniac” judge, played by Ferrell, for a past ruling that he feels ruined his life. </p>
