'Step Brothers' stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly reuniting for new comedy 'Border Guards'

Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are two of the biggest names in comedy thanks in part to their collaborations on Talladega Nights and Step Brothers. The latter of these two films had more of a focus on these actors' chemistry, creating a cult following begging for more from them. Thankfully they just signed on for another buddy comedy called Border Guards with help from behind-the-scenes collaborator Adam McKay.

Deadline has the details:

After cranking out two big hit comedies in Talladega Nights and Step Brothers, Sony Pictures is back in business with Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and John C. Reilly. The studio has closed a deal with Oscar-nominated In The Loop writer Jesse Armstrong to pen Border Guards. It's a comedy that McKay is eyeing to direct, with Ferrell and Reilly playing two hapless but earnest friends who decide to give purpose to their lives by protecting America's borders from illegal immigrants. In the process they find themselves accidentally stranded in Mexico without identification and must sneak back into the U.S. It's only related to the previous films in that Ferrell and Reilly pair so well together.

So far the only one locked into this movie with a deal is the writer, Armstrong, so we are most likely a long way away from the release of Border Guards. Speaking of Armstrong, he's the only factor in this film that could make it more special than other Ferrell/McKay movies that we're used to. Check out his writing credits to see what we mean!
