Talladega 2: Electric Boogaloo

Variety is reporting that Adam McKay, Will Ferrell, Judd Apatow & Jimmy Miller (i.e Director, Star & producers of Anchorman & Talladega Nights) are re-teaming for another flick called "Step Brothers".

"The story is about two grown men who live with their respective single parents still. These single parents meet, fall in love and marry, making these two men (Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly) step brothers."

This sounds like comedy gold to me. As low brow as some view these flicks, I always seem to laugh my ass off, which is all that really matters. Adam McKay seems to be one of those few directors that really knows how to get the most out of a Will Ferrell performance (Watch Bewitched to see how NOT to do it).

I'd rather not watch Bewitched...and I've always thought John Reily was comedy gold (see Chest Rockwell)

John C Reily has always been a favorite of mine.

I loved him in Magnolia (yes...I love that film. It's always been a sore point among my film snob friends), & of course Boogie Nights.

I actually got to meet him a couple of years ago at SIFF. He was at the gala for the film Criminal (which I totally reccomend if you're a Reily fan). He's remarkably down to earth, and very, very nice. He really made you feel comfortable and was pretty conversational. Good guy...

trying to name a favorite Reily film is tough...I loved his role in Hard Eight, first time I'd seen him in a non-supporting role...but, let us not forget his role as Bucky Bretherton in Days of Thunder...this man is a necessity when it comes to NASCAR and hollywood
