Will Ferrell To Return For ‘Anchorman 2′
EXCLUSIVE… UPDATE: I’ve learned the sequel finally came together today. The comedy Anchorman 2 will be produced under mogul Judd Apatow’s banner with Will Ferrell’s and Adam MKay’s Gary Sanchez Productions. McKay will direct as well as write the script with Will Ferrell who will star again as Ron Burgundy along with the 2004 original’s castmembers Steve Carell and Paul Rudd and David Koechner. Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy had been a DreamWorks production but Paramount took over the project after DreamWorks 2.0 departed the studio. In the first movie, Burgundy was the top-rated anchorman in San Diego in the 1970s in the PG13 pic. McKay and Ferrell are still “kicking around ideas” for the sequel, an insider tells me. “We didnt expect a week ago that this thing was going to get greenlit. It’s been alive and dead so many times.” Gee, I used to own the complete set of Anchorman booblehead dolls and finally gave them away because I didn’t think they’d ever be worth anything. Dumb, dumb, dumb!
UPDATE: OOPS! I think that ace Action4 anchorman Ron Burgundy himself scooped me (in between picking his teeth). Here’s a clip of him making the announcement on Conan O’Brien’s talk show to be aired later tonight:
This movie will set records for a comedy. Mark my words…
I agree, I’m beyond excited. I want to scream and send a series of text messages to my loved one.
We will now have to delete our Fake Paramount Twitter account we started it because Paramount refused to give this a green light.
I see what you did there
I cannot wait to see this movie
This looks good. This looks REAL good.
Hey everyone…come see how good Ron Burgandy looks!!
Now if they only make Smokey and the Bandit 4 happen, then we’re all good to go.
Im lost for words ill have to let Ron do the talking…
“Im in a glass case of emotion”
S-a-n – d-i-a-g-o is Spanish for whales vagina ………will ferrall=true American comedic genius
you owned the bobbleheads? nikki…you……..ROCK!
Ha I know, right? She’s too cool. I hope that’s true. It almost makes up for her dissing Bridesmaids imo, almost.
On another note, why on earth would Dreamworks have passed on this? Anyone? Surely it’s gonna make a buttload of money.
By the beard of Zeus!!!
YES!!!! I need this in my life
Im flattered Ron.
I’m all for the return of Ron Burgandy, but could we follow with a Ricky Bobby film? “First or last!”
