Will Ferrell Might Play Softcore Porn Producer Russ Meyer in ‘Russ & Roger Go Beyond’

Will Ferrell might have an interesting film role lined up. According to Deadline, Ferrell is currently in talks to play sexploitation film director Russ Meyer in Russ & Roger Go Beyond, which will tell the tale of Meyer teaming up with critic Roger Ebert to make the 1970 film Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. While there are no leads attached to the role of Ebert yet (Deadline suggests Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen), several actors and directors are reportedly “intrigued” by the project including Edgar Wright. Former SCTV, SNL, and Simpsons writer Chris Cluess penned the script, and production on the film could begin as early as next year.
