Will Is Hollywood’s Most Overpaid

Forbes has released its annual list of the Hollywood hotshots who give the least bang for a studio’s bucks, and the usual gang of suspects are present—like Tom Cruise, Eddie Murphy and Jim Carrey. Topping the list is funnyman Will Ferrell, largely due to the dismal failure of “Land of the Lost” last summer.

Maybe nobody wanted to watch a film that looked like a tour of the La Brea Tar Pits, since “Lost” made only $65 mil and caused two studio heads to lose their jobs. Maybe Will’s next project should be a sequel to “Talladega Nights.”
