Will Ferrell to re-team with Mark Wahlberg for new comedy 'Daddy's Home'

Paramount has announced that Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell will re-team in the comedy 'Daddy's Home.'

The movie's script is written by Brian Burns and will be directed by Sean Anders, Deadline reported.

Ferrell will be playing a mild-mannered radio executive who strives to become the best step-dad to his wife's two children, but complications ensue when their freewheeling and freeloading real father (Wahlberg) arrives, forcing him to compete for the affection of the kids.
