In the category of pure speculation, we find out that Will Ferrell is considering a sequel to Anchorman.
It seems that Will Ferrell is seriously contemplating a sequel to his popular comedy Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. He has recently been performing some sketches as Ron Burgundy for the Funny or Die Stand Up Comedy Tour, and this reminded him how much he enjoys the character. While there is certainly nothing official in the works as of yet, I think it’s clear that there is a pretty massive fan base out there that would kill to see another Anchorman flick.
I kinda grew tired of the Will Ferrell comedy routine, but of all his films I can honestly say I liked his Anchorman character the most. He fell into that whole rut of unique characters that all just seem the same, like Jack Black or Jim Carrey. Sure, they are funny, but you just get tired of it.
However, one thing Ferrell always has going for him in his movies is a hillarious supporting cast. And that is the true genius of Will Ferrell comedies.
If this happens, it will bring together some of the funniest guys in movies today, and I will be eager to see it.
i love anchorman, but i don’t like the idea of a sequel. sequels tend to be disappointments. i think it’s perfect just the way it is.
“the man punted baxter…” hahaha
They need to make an Anchorman PREQUEL. A story of how the news team came together. That would be amazing!
how about anchorlady?
Will Ferrell is the funniest guy ! Anchorman is the best movie ever, i could watch it over and over…if you dont love it, you have no sense of humor what so ever….and I would understand why you wouldn’t want a sequel…also it is just rumors….sounds too good to be true
I THINK THIS IS THE MOST WONDERFUL IDEA EVER.
i mean seriously, anchorman was the best movie i have ever! seen in my like, i mean.
the humor in it is amazing.
the language is somewhat “dirty”
but its still wonderful
i would see this sequal hundreds of time.
iloveanchorman
just like the actual move.
Honestly now after seeing his latest flop Step Brothers, which did make money it was no different from Semi Pro. Both films are just TIRED of worn out. I use to always want to see Will Ferrell movies, now I dont even bother. Blades of Glory was his last good film, everything since has been done already 10 times over now.
Dont want Anchorman 2 nor The legend of Ricky Bobby 2. Just stop already
If you people do not like sequels, then dont go see them, no one is forcing you! Will Farrell is a genius at what he does, and and Anchorman Sequel would top the charts due to the success of the last one. You people dont know what your talking about. Bring on Anchorman 2!!!!!
I find it funny that he is back-tracking on his statement in a past interview that he would never do a sequel.
Funny I guess, what Money will drive you to. Especially since 90% of his films suck, IMO. The dude is just like Carrey, the same guy in every movie he does. It’s used, old and washed up. I personally wish the guy would just go away.
Not all good films HAVE to be made into a sequal. I absolutely loved and still love Anchorman, It is quite possibly my favorite film, not that i wouldn’t go and see the second one if it were to be made its just i think Anchorman was good enough in itself, it doesn’t need anything to be added to it. I don’t want my memory of he origional film to be tarnished with a sequal that wasn’t as good as the first don’t get me wrong i know it would be hilarious, Im a HUGE Will Ferrell fan but this movie was just too perfect i don’t think it can be topped anyways love and peace xx Maddy xx
im noticed a lot of hate for achorman. i do respect ur opinions but may i ask why. i thought it was comedy gold, true will ferrell is indeed a one trick pony but the ron burgundy character is priceless…..just wanna know what u guys think
I am one of the only people I know that absolutely despised Anchorman. I honestly feel the only good movies Will Ferrell has done were “Roxbury” and “Stranger Than Fiction”. The rest of them have been absolutely shit (that I’ve seen) and grade B.
However, Semi-Pro looks funny so far and I’m willing to give it a chance.
I heard a rumor a loooong time ago (couple years at least) about “Ron Burgundy: Foreign Correspondent” being in the works. I wonder if this is it finally coming to fruition?
I would love a ANCHORMAN-sequel, but only if they get the whole gang back together, which could be difficult, cause guys like Steve Carrell and Paul Rudd have become much more famous since the first time.
The good thing about something like ANCHORMAN is that it’s easy to do a sequel, because in a movie like this you don’t really need a story. It could be 90min of those four guys sitting in a room ad-libbing away and it would still be funny.
the more i see of semi pro the more i am excited about it..
love me sexy IS the song of the year
sweet….anchorman was classic….that basketball movie looks pretty good too. but i agree with the 1st post, sequels are starting to get on my nerves too….and all the original movies that look good to me are in limited release
but anchorman is cool
back when they were trynna get will ferrell in on an “oldschool two” there was a rumor that they were gonna put everybody in it, like all of Adam Sandler’s pepes and all the new Judd Apatow blood and all the Ben Stiller pepes and everything!
Maybe they’ll do something like that for the second anchorman even though the first one had a shit load of guest appearances. It still didn’t have em all.
Wouldn’t “Wake Up, Ron Burgundy” technically be the sequel?
I read “Wake up” wasn’t actually a sequel, just scenes that didn’t make it in the movie. I hope they do make a sequel, Anchorman is the funniest movie I’ve ever seen.
I really disliked Anchorman and am not excited for a sequel. In fact, sequels are starting to bore me in general. Like 50% of your posts today are all reporting sequels or some sort of franchise expansion. It’s crazy. Well, on that note, I am also not a big fan of Will Ferrel either. But, thats me.
