Netflix backing a feature film based on Zach Galifianakis's talk show

It doesn’t sound like the most promising premise for a feature-length blockbuster.

But Zach Galifianakis’s downbeat talk show Between Two Ferns is set to become a movie.

Netflix is reportedly backing the film with Peter Dinklage, David Letterman, Keanu Reeves, Ed Helms and Bradley Cooper all slated to appear.

In the original Funny Or Die series, Galifianakis attracted big names such as Barack Obama, Brad Pitt, Hillary Clinton and Jerry Seinfeld to take part in his awkward, uncomfortable interviews

According to The Hollywood Reporter, production is already secretly under way on the movie version, directed by Between Two Ferns co-creator Scott Aukerman.
