Let me just start off by saying that I — as with most people — expected Will Ferrell to eventually become repetitive and over-done as he pretty much has. But I can’t help it, I still love the guy and most of his movies; I have no idea how he does it, but he does!
There is one movie, however, that made poorly-chosen milk spurt from our collective noses. It was one of the funniest movies seen in years and will forever be there when we need it. It is Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy — and now, we may just get to hang out with the coolest news reporter in the history of earth… again.
Anchorman writer/director Adam McKay let Collider in on some Anchorman sequel news. Apparently, if McKay can round up the cast, then it’s a go!
Adam McKay: I’m looking to do another movie, I might do this other movie called “Channel 3 Billion” which is kind of this science fiction/Brazil type comedy. Then after that,
Will and I are like let’s do Anchorman 2 …so you’re talking like 2 years maybe we’ll do it. But we’re going to do it, for sure.
Collider: That’s like 100%?
Adam McKay: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 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.
So, there it is, simple and clear. The only thing that could kill this would be if people randomly decided to pass on the project and that would make little sense considering most of them have done questionable movies without a care.
This is surely one of those sequels I would welcome openly, so… let it be done!
