Anchorman 2
http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/05/...ely-returning/
Quote:
After initially reporting a rumor back in February that Will Ferrell wanted to bring back Ron Burgundy in an Anchorman sequel, we now have some confirmation. Collider recently caught up with Will Ferrell's friend and collaborator Adam McKay, who directed Anchorman, Talladega Nights, and the upcoming Step Brothers. McKay told him that they're definitely going to do Anchorman 2, but probably not for another two years. Hell yes! I don't mind the wait - just bring Ron Burgundy back! He's one of the greatest characters Will Ferrell has ever created and the other members who make up the news team are some of the best comedians around.
McKay told Collider that "we're going to do it, for sure" and was asked if that meant it was 100% going to happen. His answer: "We're dying to do it. Unless we can't get the cast together, which is always kind of a tricky thing. But, I think, with that cast we're all friends, so yeah, we want to do it." As always, this doesn't mean it is in production and everyone knows that in Hollywood, nothing is official until it's being filmed, but for now it sounds like they're really going to try and make it in two years. Ferrell has already reportedly been reprising his role as Ron Burgundy in live comedy tours.
I said it originally and I'll say it again - damn I can't wait to see this come back! I loved Anchorman, almost more than any other Will Ferrell movie, and it would be amazing to see them return with the original cast and all creative talent attached. I can already foresee this even becoming better than the original - but that might be tough to achieve. Either way, I'm going to cross my fingers and hope Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, and David Koechner all return!

Seriously. Ferrell is milking this one something fierce. The skating movie, the basketball movie, kinda Ricky Bobby. Give it a rest. |

I don't know how to put this but it's going to be kind of a big deal.

It'll probably be as funny as Fletch 2, i.e. not funny at all.

Anchorman was funny, Talladega Nights was a riot, and Old School is a classic. Other than that, meh.

Can you blame him Mulli?? When the whole world is begging you to reprise a character and studios are willing to throw a truckload of cake at you. It's an easy decision. I mean it's not like Ferrell needs to think about his "integrity" as an actor. No one's even checking for him in a serious role. |

I bet this movie will have many leather bound books and smell of rich mahogany.

Am I the only one who thought Anchorman wasn't that funny?

I was a broadcast journalism major, until I did my internship at an NBC affiliate.
Anchorman is the balls.
