Big news for fans of the comedy classic Anchorman – Will Ferrell has officially announced plans for Paramount to produce a sequel to the film, 8 years after the original one was released.

At this stage there aren’t a whole lot of details, but Adam McKay will return to direct and co-write the script with Ferrell. See Will, dressed as Ron Burgundy, make his grand announcement during a surprise appearance on the Conan O’Brien show:

    Can’t wait for this movie, the original was hilarious!! Will Ferrell has got to be my favourite comedic actor. He’s completely fearless, and is willing to go to any lengths to get the audience laughing. Already giving this movie a thumbs up =)

    Nov17 I so believe that love shluod be able to be recognised equally. It is completely galling to me that if I ever got married, the ceremony would have to include the words marriage, according to law in Australia, is the union of a man and a woman . Why is my love for my partner of the opposite sex so different that the love my gay friends have for each other? My parents have gay friends who have been together for 25 years, I have some straight friends whose marriage didn’t last one year! We have long passed the time when marriage was a contract about property protection and heir production. As far as I’m concerned these days marriage is a formal ceremony of commitment between two people who love each other. Why those people shluod be of opposite genders makes no sense at all to me.

    And

    I’m very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

    I didn’t really like the first one. I didn’t even buy a copy of “Anchorman” on DVD when it hit the bargain bin at BigW…..and generally, if a DVD is in the bargain bin I will at least pick up the case and read the blurb before deciding to put it back or make the purchase. Didn’t even pick up the case in this case.

    There is every chance that I won’t be seeing the sequel. Not a big fan of Will Ferrell. I find him very over-rated as a comedian/actor, although I did like his OTT performance in “Zoolander”.

      I’m going to take your mother, Dorothy Mantooth, out for a nice seafood dinner, and NEVER call her again.

        Not liking ‘Anchorman’ is for little fairy boys.
