Will Ferrell Reteaming With Nicholas Stoller, Amazon MGM Studios On Comedy ‘Judgment Day’


Will Ferrell is set to produce and star in 'Judgment Day,' a new comedy that Nicholas Stoller wrote and will direct for Amazon MGM Studios.

Judgment Day follows a young convict fresh out of prison who takes a reality TV courtroom hostage, blaming the megalomaniac TV judge (Ferrell) for a past ruling that the convict feels ruined his life. Prior to You’re Cordially Invited, Stoller helmed the queer romantic comedy Bros, co-written with and starring Billy Eichner, which was the first major studio film to feature an entirely openly LGBTQ+ cast. A veteran comedy director who broke out with directorial debut Forgetting Sarah Marshall, he’s recently partnered with wife Francesca Delbanco to shepherd Apple TV+’s comedy series Platonic, starring Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne, which has been renewed for a second season.
