Some early set pictures from High, Wide, and Handsome, the NASCAR movie written by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. Those two last worked together when McKay directed and co-wrote Anchorman. Ferrell plays a driver named Ricky Bobby, already making this movie funnier than everything SNL has done combined since Will left. It co-stars the great John C. Reilly and the popular Sacha Baron Cohen (aka Ali G), who plays a driver sponsored by Perrier.
Plot Summary: The film 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.
