The difference is that they will be paired up as hero and sidekick in this movie, which has a lot of potential if you ask me.

They are both in and BOTH are not that funny together on screen! I have nothing against Will Ferrel playing the same,plain,boring comedic performances each movie, but Sacha!?!??! I digress, Both guys can act,given the correct material,Will(Stranger than Fiction,Funnyordie.com Skits) and Sacha ( Sweeney Todd). Yet every week it seems like week we get "Will Ferrel as...( sports player who can't play"......Enough! Have you guys ever seen Talladega Nights?!?!?!

The key word there is "could". When I imagine a humorous Sherlock Holmes movie, I'd much rather see something along the lines of Simon Pegg as Holmes and Nick Frost as Watson. This could be funny.

I've been waiting for Sacha Baron Cohen to play the starring role in a movie based on a character he didn't create for some time. The only thing is: Can Will Ferrell do an honest-to-God British accent or will it be mockingly fake like the German or whatever accent he did in The Producers? Also, can Cohen overshadow the established Will Ferrell as most of the world don't really know Cohen as Cohen? I for one believe that Cohen can trump Ferrell and that his career hasn't even reached it's peak yet (and that's saying something). I think he is more humorous and definitely more innovative than any comedian of the past ten years. Da Ali G Show is one of about ten shows that has made me laugh out loud in my adult lifetime. (However, I do frown at Ali G's Indahouse.) Oh wow, this is seriously awesome!

I was wondering where you got this information from, because I wanted to check it out for myself. This sounds like it’s too good to be true.
