Will Ferrell is ready to gear up and join the e-sports community for an upcoming comedy from Legendary Pictures with Fist Fight helmer Richie Keen signing on to direct the project, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
He most recently reunited with another Sunny vet, Glenn Howerton, to helm the eighth episode on the second season of his NBC series A.P. Bio.
The film, written by Jordan Dunn and Michael Kvamme (The Spongebob Movie: It’s a Wonderful Sponge), will follow Ferrell’s character who, even in his middle-age years, decides to join the highly competitive e-sports community.
He finds himself facing off against much younger opponents.
