Buy a part in Will Ferrell’s upcoming movie

I was just over at Cinema Blend and the following news made me even more certain that Will Ferrell is the king of comedy. And a really good guy.
Apparently he has decided to circumvent the audition process for his next movie, and simply let people bid on parts instead. Of course, the role being sold off is just a cameo. The auctioning of a small part in his new movie Step Brothers in an effort to raise money for a cancer charity run by one of his college frat buddies, Craig Pollard. Pollard runs Cancer for College foundation. Their official line says they provide college scholarships to cancer patients.
The cool thing here is that if you’re a Ferrell fan, you can buy your way into his presence. The auction starts online this Monday, September 17th with a minimum opening bid of $5,000. It ends September 26th with the winner being announced the next day on the 27th. If you’re the high bidder, you have waay too much money to waste and you’ll also get to meet Will for dinner at the 14th annual Cancer for College gold tournament dinner in California on September 28th. When filming starts on Step Brothers in October, you’ll get a small part in it. For more information, check out the charity’s website.
I don’t know about you but I think it’s a great idea. Hell, I’d start bidding if I only had a couple of hundred thousand just laying around – because I’m sure the winner is going to have to pay A LOT to win this one…
