Exclusive: Will Ferrell-Amy Poehler Comedy “The House” Adds Surprising Cameos in Re-Shoots

Share

The word from L.A. is that there two more people in “The House” with Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler.

I’m told that re-shoots in the last couple of weeks were extensive. And brought in for comic relief: Mariah Carey and Jeremy Renner.

Isn’t that odd?

Word from the set was that “Mariah was a nightmare.” Well, of course she was. But Mariah’s a good actress, as we’ve seen in “Precious.”

Renner as comic relief? Well, Will Ferrell and producer Adam McKay know how to make a funny movie. “The House” is directed by Andrew J. Cohen, the young writer of “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates” and “Neighbors.”
