Will Ferrell and Jon Heder ("Napoleon Dynamite") are set to take the ice in the new DreamWorks comedy, "Blades of Glory." According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Ben Stiller-produced picture will center on a pair of world-class men's figure skaters who are banned from the sport after a disgraceful brawl during the Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City (that's 2002 people). After three years of toiling in obscurity, they attempt to make a comeback partnering in the only field available to them: pairs figure skating. Ferrell and Heder will play the disgraced pair while real-life husband and wife Will Arnett ("Arrested Development") and Amy Poehler ("Saturday Night Live") are set to play their rivals. They better start practicing their triple axels -- there's only so much money in the special-effects budget.
