Will Ferrell + NASCAR = wow - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Nick Koan · 2005-10-25, 11:16 AM

I think this will be awful, but for some reason I think I'll have to see it.

Quote:

A quartet of great character actors has signed on for Will Ferrell's untitled NASCAR comedy for Columbia Pictures. Variety reports Sacha Baron Cohen (aka Ali G), John C. Reilly, Michael Clarke Duncan and Gary Cole are all ready to ham it up opposite Ferrell. The movie features Ferrell as Ricky Bobby, a world-class driver and fan favorite. Cohen plays Jean Girard, a gay French Formula One driver who comes to the U.S. to conquer NASCAR and destroy Ferrell. Reilly plays Ricky's childhood friend, and together the two form "Thunder & Lightning," the most feared racing duo in NASCAR. Cole will play Reese Bobby, Ricky's estranged father who comes back into his life. Duncan will play Lucius Washington, Bobby's crew chief. Long-time Ferrell writing collaborator Adam McKay ("Anchorman") will direct. After "Herbie: Fully Loaded," it'd be hard to convince me NASCAR could work in the movies, but two comic geniuses like Ferrell and Cohen duking it out for laughs? Put it on your must-see list for next summer.

I guarantee you it'll be awful, but I'll see it anyway

Can't stand Ferrell. Nothing that guy has done has been even remotely funny to me. I dunno. Just can't get him.

AtomicLabMonkey · 2005-10-25, 12:06 PM

I have no words to describe this idea.

JonnydaJibba · 2005-10-25, 01:01 PM

I'll see it, I think he's great.

I have to agree. I'm not much of a Ferrell fan. Mainly cause his humor is just overacting and being stupid. He is decently smart in interviews, but his humor just seems to be fart jokes, falling down, and crying in mock pain.

Still, much like an alzheimers patient, I'll forget and watch the movie anyways.

BTW, Anchorman was pretty damn good though. Was a lot better then I thought a Ferrell lead picture could be.

Kevin M · 2005-10-25, 02:45 PM

Will Farrell definitely is below standard as a comedian. Watch the deleted scene with him and Jon Stewart from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Stewart starts improvising and is hilarious, and Farrell can't follow his lead to save his life. He's only good when the part is well written, like in Anchorman.

anyways, I'll probably end up seeing it. It'll either be really funny, or I'll get to sit and make fun of both WF and Nascar for an hour and a half!

MattR · 2005-10-25, 07:36 PM

NASCAR+MAttr = win.
