The 2025 film schedule continues to show its spectacular unfold by introducing the long-overdue team-up of Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon, in You’re Cordially Invited. The ‘Willerspoon’ film continues to shock and excite anticipating viewers with the powerhouse pairing and the continuing sprinkles of BTS tidbits being shared. The Saturday Evening Stay alum egged on the concept he and his upcoming costar are a match we’ve all been lacking out on, together with why the Prime subscription movie is the proper match for them.
The Will & Harper star appeared on TODAY and chatted in regards to the new Nicholas Stoller-directed movie. He began by recalling the A-Listers shared work historical past–20 years in the past on SNL when Witherspoon was internet hosting. The funnyman then teased that audiences could be in for an actual deal with with the terrific twosome. Through their YouTube account, he mentioned:
She had come to host Saturday Evening Stay as soon as. Then, we took a 20-year break. However we’re the pairing that you just didn’t know you wanted to see.
It’s arduous to consider that it’s the first time Ferrell and Witherspoon are actually working collectively, nevertheless it’s true. I’m extremely motivated to observe their 20-year-old SNL episode now (obtainable with a Peacock subscription). And, I’m much more prepared to observe the January thirtieth film, their signature types intertwine with each other, and that promised long-overlooked chemistry we’ve all been lacking out on.
The Elf star then launched into why this double wedding ceremony film, and its director (Stoller), was the proper place to reunite with Witherspoon. He additionally famous Stoller’s nice backlog of flicks and the way Ferrell was prepared to leap in after the informal pitch, saying:
Nick Stoller who, he’s carried out so many humorous films, Neighbors, Get Him To The Greek, the checklist goes on and on. We’ve been dying to work collectively. He known as me up, is like, ‘I need to speak to you a couple of film.’ It’s mainly two weddings booked on the identical vacation spot on the identical date,’ and simply begins laughing maniacally. And I mentioned, ‘I’m in. Sounds good. Sounds nice.’
The Neighbors director and Zoolander actor seem to be a match made in heaven. With movies like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Get Him to the Greek and Bros paired with Ferrell’s funniest flicks–it’s a inexperienced flag for me. And it solely will get higher as soon as Witherspoon and her high films enter the sector (to not point out nice comedic help like Jack McBrayer and Keyla Monterroso Mejia filling out the venture).
The countdown is on till You’re Cordially Invited and we will see the dream workforce we by no means knew we wanted, Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon. I do know already that I’m hoping it gained’t take one other twenty years to see them in one thing collectively once more.
