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:
Aqualung!!!!!!!!
[enraged] Dorothy Mantooth is a saint!
YES. i love Anchorman, best comedy movie. and while excited for a sequels, i have to admit i am scared. i just don’t hunk it will compare, i think it will be too hard an act to follow and the new movie will disappoint. i hope i’m wrong but..
its so damn hot, milk was a bad choice.
I don’t know how to say this but… This is kind of a big deal!
I’ll be watching this from my home on Whore Island!!
This is literally the best news I’ve gotten all day. And my wife gave birth to my first today. That’s how freakin happy this makes me.
60% of the time, it works every time.
Yes! I cannot wait!!
I hope they go with the original idea to have the sequel in the 80′s.
I mean…Paul Rudd with a Flock of Seagulls haircut? Sold!
This is actually a sequel I’ve been hoping for. I hope Wes Mantooth makes an appearance.
What you ate a whole wheel of cheese? Of course I’m not mad I’m impressed! Bout time!!!!##!!!!!!
