Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg were shooting buddy-cop comedy The Other Guys at the Flamingo Saturday. It’s mostly set in New York and co-stars Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson, and is directed by FunnyOrDie’s Adam McKay, who co-wrote and directed Anchorman, Step Brothers and Talladega Nights. It has an Aug. 6 release date, which should give you plenty of time to rewatch Anchorman and parts of Elf and remember when Will Ferrell used to care.

It’s not the only movie being shot in town right now. Todd Phillips is doing Hangover follow-up Due Date with Zach Galifianakis and Robert Downey Jr. right now. Galifianakis was spotted at the Imperial Palace’s Rockhouse Thursday night drinking from one of their guitars. If you’re lucky and can catch some of the shooting on set, you can get a jump on your Zach Galifianakis costume for next Halloween.
