Sacha Baron Cohen, John C. Reilly, Michael Clarke Duncan and Gary Cole have signed on to star in the untitled Will Ferrell NASCAR comedy for Columbia Pictures says Reuters.
The story follows Ricky Bobby (Ferrell), a world-class race car driver and fan favorite. Cohen, best known for his Ali G persona, will play Jean Girard - a gay, French Formula One driver who comes to the U.S. to conquer NASCAR and defeat Ferrell.
Reilly, who is filming Robert Altman's "A Prairie Home Companion," will play Cal Naughton, Ferrell's boyhood friend who together with Ferrell forms "Thunder & Lightning," the most feared racing duo in NASCAR.
Thanks to 'Seth'.
