As revealed in his contract caught by Smoking Gun, the "Semi-Pro" star's demands for his new film did come with rather extravagant demands that anyone may struggle to see a purpose in having. As revealed by the site, Will Ferrell requested one flight of stairs (approximately six feet high) on wheels, as well as one fake tree (about 15 to 20 feet tall), also on wheels. To ensure a bit of color on the set, the actor also requested one rainbow on wheels that he would allow to be painted on a canvas.
In addition to these requests, there was one item on Ferrell's interesting list that at least made a little bit of sense compared to everything else. As a mode of transport, he also requested a scooter to get him to and from the stage when necessary. Compared to a cardboard cut out of a tree and rainbow, a scooter was the least of the studio's problems. That was, of course, besides the poor reception the film received, earning a pitiful 22% on Rotten Tomatoes, proving there are some things even a rainbow can't brighten up.
