The Hollywood Reporter brings news of a potential partnership between four of Hollywood’s busiest chuckle-merchants. Seems that Will Ferrell and Jon Heder are about to sign in the skating comedy "Blades of Glory," in which they would star with Amy Poehler and Will Arnett.

"Red Hour Films’ Ben Stiller and Stuart Cornfeld are producing the DreamWorks comedy with John Jacobs of First Entertainment. Tackling the competitive world of ice skating will be the commercial directing duo Josh Gordon and Will Speck.

"Blades" revolves around a pair of world-class men’s figure skaters who are banned from the sport after their disgraceful brawl during the Winter Games in Salt Lake City. After three years of toiling in obscurity, they attempt to put aside their feud and exploit a loophole in the terms of their suspension, partnering to compete in the only category open to them — pairs figure skating."
