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.
A New Photo of Enik From 'Land of the Lost'

The gang over at Collider got their hands on a new picture from Land of the Lost -- and as I'd like them to keep their scoop (particularly since the trades like ripping them off), you'll have to click on the bug-eyed lizard to see the whole photo. Devin Faraci has confirmed the photo is the real deal, and that it's the first look at Enik. If you adored the show (which I didn't, the Sleestaks scared the crap out of me), you might remember this kind fellow as the guard of a time portal. He's played by John Boylan, who's really quite handsome under that make-up.
Enik represents what the Sleestaks once were -- a proud civilization called the Altrusians, a race that could talk and wear clothes, and who eventually devolved into the mean and naked Sleestaks. (Humanity, take note.) I'm not sure how they managed to make Enik look friendlier and less soul-destroying than the other Sleestaks, but his black eyes don't scare me nearly as much.
Land of the Lost opens July 17th, 2009.
The Sleestaks of 'Land of the Lost' Remake

I can't even crack a joke about this picture. It scares the crap out of me -- those dark eyes are hypnotizing me, freezing my very soul. I don't even want to talk about it, but I have to. Universal has just sent us this hi-res photo (click to enlarge), which comes by way of USA Today and possibly my nightmares.
They have kept the basic design, director Brad Siberling says he fought to keep their original humanoid shape -- and to keep the kitschy appeal of a man in a suit. "There is a sense of humor that I loved from the original show that can only come from an actor trying to negotiate the suit. If it became CG, they'd be too perfect. For the Sleestak to remain in people's memories, it tells you that it was about who was in the suit."
The one difference is that the Sleestaks will not be armed with crossbows, as in the original television show. Instead, they'll pull quills from their spines and fire them like arrows. Murderous lizards are funny.
The Land of the Lost remake is scheduled to be released July 17th, 2009.
