Will Ferrell - whose Step Brothers is in theaters next weekend - is about to battle someone even closer in an upcoming comedy: Himself. He'll play a guy with dual personalities in the completely-unrelated-to-Batman 2-Face. The script, according to The Hollywood Reporter, has been sitting around at Sony for a while, and comes from Hancock co-writer Vince Gilligan.

As you'd expect, since this is a comedy, and it ought to be very broad, considering the subject matter. Here's the drill: Half of Ferrell is a soft bleeding-heart liberal and the other half is a loud, obnoxious racist. There should be plenty of laughs but probably a fair number of gags that don't fly. Eventually, this kind of shtick tends to wear on you.

And I'm not sure I buy Ferrell as a racist. He's almost too affable for that. But I think Michael Richards could pull it off.

There isn't a director line up yet,
