Yet the director began his career with genre films. Classe Tous Risques, released in 1960, is considered the best of his early work and it's a fascinating companion to similar crime movies made around the same time by Jean-Pierre Melville.

Ferrell and Adam McKay already mooted the astronaut idea as the follow-up to Anchorman and Talladega Nights (they ended up going with something else, though).
