Will Ferrell Classic ‘Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby’ Races To 4K UHD For Its 20th Anniversary
by David Lewis
Racing fans will be thanking the Dear Lord Baby Jesus for the upcoming 4K UHD/Blu-ray release of Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, celebrating its 20th anniversary.
Will Ferrell plays NASCAR ace Ricky Bobby, who just wants to go fast. With faithful second banana Cal (John C. Reilly) at his side, the Shake ‘n’ Bake duo meet their match when they cross paths with an arrogant F1 racer played by Sacha Baron Cohen. Endlessly improvised hilarity ensues.
Gary Cole, Michael Clarke Duncan, Amy Adams, and Leslie Bibb co-star.
The three-disc steelbook set includes both the 108-minute theatrical version and the 122-minute unrated cut, restored in 4K resolution from the original camera negative. Extras include two commentaries — including a brand new “25 Years Later” track — deleted and extended scenes, director Adam McKay’s video diaries, auditions and interviews, Ricky and Cal’s commercials and PSAs, trailers, and more.
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby drops August 4th.
