Will Ferrell Talks 'Anchorman 2' and the Return of Ron Burgundy
Filed under: Comedy », Deals », Dreamworks », Movie Marketing », Remakes and Sequels »
Great Odin's *McKay and Ferrell have been hinting at a sequel as far back as last summer, and they told Entertainment Weekly that they were already developing a script that would fast-forward Ron Burgundy to the 80's. Now, normally the word sequel is a cause for concern when it comes to a favorite flick, but I have to admit; it's an idea that has tons of possibilities. I mean, who wouldn't love to see the Ron in the world of cable news pundits? I wonder if Burgundy would be a Fox News or a MSNBC kind of guy? Nobody can play a lovable blow-hard like Farrell, and as long as the whole thing doesn't become overrun with bad '80s jokes about Rubik's Cubes and Thriller jackets, we should be good, right?
*Correction: You'll have to forgive the Burgundy misquote, it happens to the best of us.

Reports of Ron Burgundy's triumphant return to the big screen may have been greatly exaggerated, according to the man who accidentally started said reports. Yes, Will Ferrell is now saying he's not interested in sequel work at the moment, and isn't sure if he ever will be. Essentially, Ferrell told the Toronto Star he'd love to do an Anchorman sequel, and then discussed some possible plot angles with the paper, but the discussion was purely fluff, and Ferrell has no actual, solid plans for such a film. And while he's at it, there is no Old School 2, either. He does have a script for it (titled Old School Dos), but when asked about sequel potential said "Yeah, that's a lie, too."So no Elf 2, no Anchorman 2, and no Old School Dos. Ferrell really isn't into this sequel thing, is he? Fans probably shouldn't worry, however, it isn't like he doesn't play the exact same character in every one of his films. If you don't pay particularly close attention, you could probably call Talladega Nights an Anchorman sequel and just pretend Ron got himself a bad accent and decided to be a race car driver. ...
