Will Ferrell geek alert…..

I’m a big fan of Will Ferrell, He is a genius, no-one can bring life to comedy scripts like Ferrell. although I barely made it through Bewitched the other night, he was sublime in Melinda and Melinda, it’s a crying shame about the film though which contained only characters which exist in Woody Allen’s social circles. Anchorman for me was “scrumtrulesent” (Ferrell geeks only) with a terrific script and brilliant cast. My mouth waters at the prospect of his new film from the Anchorman team:Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. As a NASCAR driver Ricky Bobby (Ferrell) faces stiff competition in the form of his new teammate, Jean Girard (Sasha Baron Cohen). Bobby partners with his buddy Cal to form Thunder and Lightning, the most feared duo in the game.

Sounds like that and Nacho Libre (see last post) are the ones to look out for in the UK over summer. Though aparently Baron Cohen’s has a Borat movie coming out which is interesting……….If you forget about In Da House and think about his good performance as king of the Lemmurs in Madagascar (not joking!- him and the penguins were brilliant).

Can anyone confirm if this will be released? It apparently has caused a stir in Kazakstan (read that story here). Borat did claim that in Kazakstan they “hunted jews” among other shocking revelations  (Baron Cohen – being Jewish himself).



{June 29, 2006}   HOW CAN YOU NOT BE EXCITED?

Nacho Libre

 I’m sold, are you?

I know this blog has a music slant, but I have to say when I found out that Jared Hess, Napoleon Dynamite’s director, was teaming up with Tenacious D’s Jack Black (Actor and f**king “musician” - there’s your slant cynics!) to make a film about a Priest who moonlights as a Luchador (Mexican Wrestler), well, I needed to have some time alone. Just as I thought that there was nothing more to look forward to apart from remakes of Magnum PI, Vectorman or Manimal (actually that might be allright, modern FX etc, you can steal that pitch if you like) bang! Nacho Libre appears and you can watch the trailer here. Whilst I’m on the subject of Jack Black, If anyone knows whether the Tenacious D Film is still going to be made, drop me a comment on this post.
