Will Ferrell stars in Semi-Pro, an outrageous
comedy set in 1976 against the backdrop of
the maverick ABA -- a fast-paced, wild and
crazy basketball league that rivaled the NBA
and made a name for itself with innovations
like the three-point shot and slam dunk
contest. Ferrell plays Jackie Moon, a one-hit
wonder who used the profits from the success
of his chart-topping song "Love Me Sexy" to
achieve his dream of owning a basketball
team. But Moon's franchise, the Flint
Michigan Tropics, is the worst team in the
league and in danger of folding when the ABA
announces its plans to merge with the NBA. If
they want to survive, Jackie and the Tropics
must now do the seemingly impossible -- win.
Semi-Pro co-stars Woody Harrelson (Anger
Management, White Men Can't Jump), Will
Arnett (Blades of Glory, "Arrested
Development"), Andre Benjamin (Four Brothers,
music group Outkast), Rob Corddry, Maura
Tierney, Josh Braaten, DeRay Davis, Jay
Phillips, Jackie Earle Haley and Andy
Richter. The film is written by Scot
Armstrong (Old School), directed by Kent
Alterman, produced by Jimmy Miller, and will
be released on February 29, 2008.
