Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg Reunite for TURKEY BOWL

Warner Bros. will be developing a new comedy called Turkey Bowl that will reunite Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, who starred together in The Other Guys, which I thought was an entertaining movie. Warner Bros. bought the film pitch from 30 Rock's Robert Carlock, and Scott Silveri.

Ferrell and Walberg star as a couple of guys from football-obsessed towns who lead rival teams in an annual tackle football game for bragging and trash-talking rights. According to Deadline "the tackle games are grandiose, and I'm told they plan to pack it with fun cameos, just the way they did during the rival broadcaster gang fights in Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy."

Turkey Bowl is a Thanksgiving tradition were on the morning of Thanksgiving groups of friends and family get together and play a nice game of football. These games are usually unofficiated and played as flag football, street football or touch football formats. I've been involved with a few games where things get really heated amoung players, I guess it's also a time for friends and family to unleash their frustrations on each other on the field of battle.

I can see how this could make for a hilarious comedy, and it will be fun to see Wahlberg and Ferrell together, as I think they make a great comedic duo. What do you all think about this upcoming Turkey Bowl comedy?
