Will Ferrell

Funnyman Will Ferrell and "Napoleon Dynamite" star Jon Heder are in negotiations to pair up in the comedy "Blades of Glory," Variety reports.

The film centres on two world class men's figure skaters who are banned after brawling at the 2002 Winter Olympics.

After three years, the duo put aside their differences and use a loophole to compete in the only category left open to them -- pairs figure skating.

Saturday Night Live comedian Amy Poehler and husband Will Arnett ("Arrested Development") are also in talks to appear.

Newcomers Will Speck and Josh Gordon are set to direct the movie.

Ferrell will next join Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick in the Broadway musical-turned-film "The Producers," while Jon Heder will return to the big screen in April with the comedy "The Benchwarmers."
