Will Ferrell & John C. Reilly Holmes & Watson Interview
41Holmes & Watson: Will Ferrell & John C. Reilly Interview
With Holmes & Watson, co-stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly complete their trilogy—along with Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and Step Brothers—about two buffoonish men with nothing but genuine, un-ironic man-love for each other. Here, the duo steps back in time to the early 20th century to take on the roles of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's master detective, Sherlock Holmes (Ferrell) and his trusty physician flat-mate, John Watson (Reilly). When a body arrives at Buckingham Palace along with a note signed by Holmes' nemesis, Moriarty (Ralph Fiennes), the game is officially afoot. Aided by an American doctor, Ms. Hudson (Rebecca Hall) and her feral partner, Millie (Lauren Lapkus), Holmes and Watson dive into the case, possibly sinking the Titanic and inventing the drunken late-night dick text pic along the way.
Before Holmes & Watson's premiere, I sat down with Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly to discuss the film, the theme of bro-love, working together as best friends, and the movie's musical number written by Alan Menken and Glenn Slater. Plus, we put the co-stars detective skills to the test with a lightning round of riddles.
