Start brushing up on all the Shakespeare you learned in your high school english class, which, face it, wasn't much, you’ll need it for Will Ferrell’s new film.

The comedian is starring in the currently untitled project, which Sony just got on board with. (The movie comes from Mosaic, currently heading another Ferrell led film, the Manimal remake.)

The movie’s premise is a look inside a highly competitive Shakespearean theater company. 

Ferrell’s at his finest in competitor mode, see: Talladega Nights, Blades of Glory, Semi-Pro
