Sacha Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell are Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson

Sacha Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell are set to team up again as crime-solving partners Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in a new Judd Apatow film. The film described as a comedy but probably more like a spoof has not been titled yet.

Tropic Thunder writer Etan Cohen is penning the script for Columbia Pictures. Apatow and manager Jimmy Miller will produce. Studio co-president Matt Tolmach told Variety:

“Just the idea of Sacha and Will as Sherlock Holmes and Watson makes us laugh.” “Sacha and Will are two of the funniest and most talented guys on the planet, and having them take on these two iconic characters is frankly hilarious.”

The movie funnymen last acted together as rival race car drivers who memorably made out in—Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, which earned them an MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss.
