Talladega Nights: Semi-New Trailer, All-New Website

by Scott Weinberg | June 16, 2006

Fans of the joyously insane Will Ferrell have no doubt been looking forward to "Talladega Nights" for quite some time, and they'll be happy to know that there's an all-new trailer up for the upcoming comedy. (Truth be told, much of the new trailer consists of material from the old teaser...) Plus the official site is live as well, so go have some fun.

"Opening August 4, "Talladega Nights" tells the story of NASCAR stock car racing sensation Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrell) whose "win at all costs" approach has made him a national hero. He and his loyal racing partner, childhood friend Cal Naughton Jr. (John C. Reilly), are a fearless duo -- dubbed "Thunder" and "Lightning" by their fans for their ability to finish so many races in the #1 and #2 positions, with Cal always in second place. When a flamboyant French Formula One driver, Jean Girard (Sacha Baron Cohen), challenges the "Thunder" and "Lightning" for the supremacy of NASCAR, Ricky Bobby must face his own demons and fight Girard for the right to be known as racing's top driver. Gary Cole, Michael Clarke Duncan, Leslie Bibb and Jane Lynch also star."

Directed by "Anchorman" helmer Adam McKay, "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" opens on August 4th.

Thanks to CS.net for el synopsis de la plot.

This doesn't look as funny as Anchorman or 40-Year-Old.

Based on what? A one minute trailer? the trailer made me laugh. I look forward to another bout of lunacy from Will Ferrel and Co.

Nacho Libre seems to be getting alot of mixed reaction around people I know and in general. I didn't hear good things about The Break-Up. Maybe Will Ferrell can save summer comedy yet again. From what I've seen it looks hilarious. I mean it's based around Nascar.
