Fashion Wire Daily - Los Angeles - If something works, why not do it again?

That's the attitude of the group of silly boys (okay, men) who brought their latest movie collaboration to the Mann Village Theater in Westwood on Tuesday night. This time out, actors Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, along with writer-director Adam McKay and producer Judd Apatow bring the world "Step Brothers." The boys' first venture was the smash hit "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky and Bobby" (and, sans Reilly, "Anchorman" as well), so it made sense to join forces yet again to try for another comedy winner.

"Basically we just had so much fun working on 'Talladega Nights,' we really kind of made a pact, a blood pact to try to work on something else together," Will Ferrell explained at an earlier press conference in support of the comedy. "I think it was John who was really the catalyst who said, 'Let's really make a concerted effort.' I think that you work on films with people and you have fun experiences and then you say, 'Lets do it again -' and it just slips through your fingers. So we really made a point to sit down and meet.

"I think we had a couple of dinners where we threw out a bunch of different ideas. We had some really good ones and then it was Adam (McKay) who called both of us the next day and said, 'You know what, I just thought of this other thing. What if you guys are two forty-year-old guys who live with their single parent? They meet each other, get married, and you're forced to be step brothers.' We were both like, 'Well, that's the idea!'"

The boys recruited Mary Steenburgen and Richard Jenkins to be their parents, and "Step Brothers" was off and running. They both walked the red carpet at the premiere, too, along with Steenburgen's husband Ted Danson, as well as Kathryn Hahn and Adam Scott, the film's other co-stars.

It was a hot ticket - a good sign for the film's coming release on July 25 - as male fans of the Farrell-Reilly-McKay-Apatow crew turned out in force. Tyrese Gibson was there, along with Jason Bateman, Jon Heder, David Hasselhoff, Barry Williams, Garry Shandling, David Faustino, Tom Arnold, and Corey Feldman.
