Will Ferrell Attached to Semi-Religious Comedy Swear to God

Deadline reports that Warner Bros. has just picked up Swear to God, a pitch from Due Date writers Alan Cohen and Alan Freedland. Ferrell is attached to star as a self-involved "hedge fund manager who thinks he has seen God." McKay would produce and possibly direct the feature under the pair's production shingle Gary Sanchez Productions. [Deadline]

    Everything that's wrong with Hollywood today can be summed up with the fact that they believe a hedge fund manager can be an everyman -- or, really, that they don't think a real everyman could interest an audience.

    Seriously, aren't we all involved in a semi-serious religious comedy?
