BLADES OF GLORY: How Ben Stiller Passed the Baton to Will Ferrell and Jon Heder Broke His Ankle
from Hollywood Gold
Directors Will Speck and Josh Gordon glide us through the making of 2007's hit comedy BLADES OF GLORY. Having made their mark directing a few iconic commercial campaigns, the duo went into directing their first feature film with a little too much confidence, and hit their first big challenge when Ben Stiller decided the role felt too repetitive for him and stepped away from the leading role. Will and Josh flew the script to Will Ferrell since he was shooting another movie, and he signed on. A fun crew of comedians assembled to round out the cast and months of ice skating training and true collaboration led to comedy gold. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
