Will Ferrell to Play Dad in CRAZY U

Getting into a good college is getting more and more difficult and more and more stressful...at least on the parents. Will Ferrell is eyeing the starring role in the movie adaptation of the book, "Crazy U: One Dad's Crash Course In Getting His Kid Into College." He'll play a dad obsessed with getting his high school senior into the perfect college -- including efforts to get in front of the top college consultant in the country, involving himself in his son's SATs, and all the college tours and admissions interviews. Ferrell's Gary Sanchez Productions will produce for New Line.
