Woody's always untitled, fall project begins shooting this month. The cast is looking as interesting as his latest(the about to be released, and odd "Anything Else"). Chloe Sevigny, Radha Mitchell, Jonny Lee Miller, Amanda Peet, Wallace Sawn, and Vinessa Shaw will join Ferrell in the pic. He stepped in after Woody and Dreamworks balked at the cost of having to insure Robert Downey Jr.  

An the news blip has just surfaced that Ferrell is going to star in the pulitzer prize-winning comic-drama, "A Confederacy of Dunces." Independently-minded, artistic director David Gordon Green(see George Washington, All the Real Girls, and the soon to be released Undertow) is going to direct the adapted script by Scott Kramer and Steven Soderbergh.  Mos Def, Lily Tomlin, Olympia Dukakis, and Drew Barrymore will also star.
