Some of you may remember me posting the story of a priest & his buddies playing an epic game of tag that has lasted 20 or so years. A movie is going to be made about it. Awesome! I'm sure it will have it's Hollywood twists but it will be based on the story of the priest & his friends.

Will Ferrell and Jack Black are attached to star in "Tag Brothers," a pitch based on a recent Wall Street Journal article that was just snapped up in a major bidding war by New Line Cinema.

The comedy duo shared a single (albeit memorable) scene together in "Anchorman," but this project would represent their first substantial pairing should the script come together.

Back in February, Todd Garner's Broken Road banner acquired life rights to the "Tag Brothers," a group of former classmates from Spokane, Washington whose long-running game of Tag garnered national attention following a feature story in the Wall Street Journal.

Now in their 40s, the group spends the month of February chasing each other across the country to avoid being "It," all while balancing their personal and professional obligations. The shenanigans are pretty serious, with friends breaking into each other's homes and offices to score that crucial physical contact.
