Derek Jeter & Will Ferrell film movie at Nathan’s

November 13, 2009 at 11:20 pm by ojrifkin · More posts about:Male Athletes, Nathan's Hot Dog Contest, New York City

The New York Post has a gallery of Derek Jeter filming the Will Ferrell movie “The Other Guys” at Nathan’s Famous in Coney Island yesterday. The movie has the following plot summary:

In the comedy, Ferrell and notorious Red Sox fan Mark Wahlberg play cops who spend their careers as desk jockeys. The two are permanently benched after Wahlberg’s character wrongly shoots Jeter in the leg after seeing him walking around with a bat, sources said.

The scene shot at Nathan’s takes place years later, when a down-on-his-luck Jeter — wearing a filthy hobo’s jacket and sporting stringy gray hair — encounters the crime-fighting duo.
