Let it be known that what follows is no April Fool’s joke. In fact, this is serious. Blockbuster mega-stars Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig are featuring in none other than – wait for it – a Lifetime movie. Though we aren’t sure how serious the tone of the movie will be, sources confirm the duo will star in the forthcoming Lifetime movie titled A Deadly Adoption. The film will be kicking off the 25th anniversary of Lifetime’s made-for-tv genre. There is chatter that the film could have both a serious and campy edge. Ferrell and Wiig star as a couple hoping to adopt a woman’s unborn baby (Jessica Lowndes of 90210 ). Of course, things go awry. And we are hoping it does so in true Ferrell and Wiig style when the film, slated for a summer premiere on Lifetime, arrives. Will Ferrell is apparently a fan of the made-for-TV genre and wants to celebrate it with his own film. He will serve as its executive producer along with Adam McKay. Not only does A Deadly Adoption mark the first time Ferrell or Wiig have starred in a Lifetime film, it also celebrates the reunion of Wiig, Ferrell, and McKay. The trio is best known for their work together on Anchorman 2 . Now, the elephant in the room is Melissa Gilbert. Certainly, she has to be jealous that she might lose her title as the made-for-TV queen to Will Ferrell … SNL 40: Fashion Hits and Misses 1.
