It was a year ago now that the chances of Anchorman 2 being made were killed off by Paramount. The fans then tried to influence matters by stating how keen they were on seeing a sequel to this comedy classic happen, but to no avail as Paramount refused to budge. The star of the original, [...]
The cast and crew want Anchorman 2. The fans want Anchorman 2. But Paramount does not, claiming that the actors’ wage bill cannot be justified when measured against the likely box office takings for the sequel. There was an incredible outcry amongst the fans when the news that Anchorman 2 had been killed off back [...]
After two years of will they/won’t they, please let it happen, what’s the hold-up?-style conversations, Anchorman 2 was killed off on a sad day back in May of this year. Fans of the original expressed their disappointment in their droves. And it appears that may just have had an effect on those who make these [...]
It was a sad day when Anchorman 2 was nixed before it had a chance to shine. But that’s Hollywood for you these days; if a film isn’t absolutely guaranteed to make a profit then the studio won’t give it the green light, which is what Paramount did with the Anchorman sequel. That was bad [...]
Anchorman 2 isn’t happening. Unfortunately. Paramount nixed the project at the beginning of May because it couldn’t see how the film sequel was going to make any money. But if it had happened, then it could have taken the form of a musical. Maybe. No. Surely not. If this is true then I’m absolutely gutted, [...]
I’ve been posting on Snarkerati about a sequel to Anchorman for almost two years now. Writer/director Adam McKay has always been keen on making it, and Will Ferrell and the other stars have all expressed interest in being involved in that time. Everything was building up nicely, and just a few days ago it seemed [...]
Anchorman remains one of my favorite comedy movies of recent years. It just works, in a similar way to how The Hangover works, with a genius script and a cracking cast coming together to create laughs. So why hasn’t there been a sequel yet? There’s actually been a lot of talk about a sequel, dating [...]
Anchorman is a brilliant film. One of the funniest I’ve ever seen and definitely Will Ferrell’s best film, because a lot of his are a bit rubbish to be honest. Ferrell, along with his writing partner Adam McKay, have been talking about the possibility of a sequel for a while now. But very few details [...]
Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy is probably my favorite Will Ferrell film. It’s funny throughout, is equally outrageous and clever, and generally ticks all the boxes for me. Which is why I’m so glad to hear that a sequel, Anchorman 2 obviously, is being planned. In fact, the director of the original movie, Adam [...]
The original Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy stands up as one of Will Ferrell’s best movies so far. The good news is that it looks very likely that an Anchorman 2 is soon to be on the way. The original’s director Adam McKay, who also co-wrote the film along with Ferrell, spoke to Collider [...]
