‘Swear To God’ is scheduled to kick off production next summer in July and will be produced by Ferrell and Adam McKay’s Gary Sanchez Production through Warner Brothers. The project marks Theroux’s second time in the directors chair. The ‘Wanderlust’ actor previously brought Dedication to theaters back in 2008.
