Premise: Ricky Bobby is a go-for-broke race car driver, who in races either finishes first or doesn't finish at all.

Bobby partners with his buddy Cal, to form Thunder and Lightning, the most feared duo in the game.

I dont know about this... but that picture of Will Ferrel with J C Reilly made my day.

i don't think john c and sascha b would do this if it weren't awesome. however, the power of the ferrell flop is hard to ignore..

Just listened to an older Guys with Feelings Podcast and they interviewed Adam McKay.

He just went on and on about JCR and how much he blew everyone away... how much he made Ferrell laugh and how great he is at improv.

I guess originally, he read for a part in an early version of Anchorman and did better than anyone else, but ended up having to do Aviator instead.

i would like to give just a general HA to the whole trailer. especially the cougar and this:

"Tom Cruise use your witchcraft to get the fire off me!"

it's looking good.

its crazy that i dont know who that chick is, and she's not amy adams.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

It's Leslie Bibb, plus about two pounds of Kleenex.

The bad news: There's no way it could possibly be as great as Anchorman. Just..no way.

The good news: The trailer alone is already better than Bewitched.
