Will Ferrell And John C. Reilly In ‘Step Brothers’
It’s still no Anchorman or Old School, but this next Will Ferrell project “Step Brothers” looks like it might be at least better than “Semi-Pro”. For one thing, it’s directed and co-written by Adam McKay who wrote Anchorman and who, of course, collaborated with his daughter Pearl to make the viral video “The Landlord.” For another thing, it seems like it will be based on these two big kids, Brennan (Ferrell) and Dale (Reilly), and their competitive/loving relationship, as opposed to something a little more gimmicky, like race-car driving or the 1970s in general.
In other news, this is the movie for which Will Ferrell auctioned off a role to support his friend’s charity, Cancer for College. The role ultimately went to a 10-year-old boy from Dallas for just over $47,000.
Step Brothers opens July 25. The trailer made me laugh out loud in a few spots, so to check it out and tell me what you think, read more.

Semi-Pro Coming Saturday?
‘Bradley’ sent over an interesting little detail to be found on the official site for Semi-Pro. According to the site, we shouldn’t go see the film on Friday, but wait until the day after.
Saturday Release: Semi-Pro
Upon opening the official site for Semi-Pro you will notice that instead of Friday, we are told that the film will be, “In Theaters Saturday.”
A funny joke from New Line? Food for thought.
Age Restricted ‘Semi-Pro’ Trailer
Will Ferrell has this strange ability to make a blockbuster, universally respected comedy, then turn around and make totally mediocre crap, but his career isn’t affected by it at all. Last spring he brought the world Blades of Glory, which made way more money than it deserved, and this February it will be Semi-Pro. It’s another raunchy comedy about some obscure sport, except this time instead of car racing or ice skating it’s semi-professional basketball.
Most of what we’ve seen for the movie so far is just teasers, but now there’s an age-restricted trailer available at this site, which has better security than most bars I’ve checked. They say they check your name and date of birth against the information on your driver’s license, but I haven’t checked to see if you can get past ‘em. In any case, if you’re old enough to buy a lottery ticket, you can check out the trailer and be presented with… a crazy amount of blowjob jokes. Continue Reading…
Semi-Pro Movie Trailer
The new trailer for Will Farrell’s Semi-Pro is now online. Looks like another generic Will Farrell comedy, which might be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your age range.
Farrell stars as Jackie Moon, the owner-coach-player of the American Basketball Association’s Flint Michigan Tropics, who “rallies his teammates to make their NBA dreams come true.” The film also stars Woody Harrelson, Andre Benjamin, Maura Tierney, and Jackie Earle Haley. Kent Alterman makes his feature directorial debut.
