Will Ferrell Finds Another Way To Go Old School

Blades of Glory may still be raking in the dollars, but don't go expecting Will Ferrell to ease up on his period parodies just yet - after all, even as you read this sentence he's here in LA shooting Semi-Pro, his forthcoming comedy about the owner of a 1970s basketball team!
Of course, as soon as we heard Will Ferrell would be prancing around in ridiculous short-shorts and rocking a hilarious 70s wig, we just had to go down and check it out for ourselves. Unfortunately, as soon as the production crew took notice of our cameras, they started blocking our view with some handy plywood planks. Will Ferrell may play a geek, but who's the real geek here?!
I will say this, however: if you're going to do a parody of the ABA, you better drag Artis Gilmore out of mothballs for a cameo!
