'Anchorman 2'? Sure. Why Not? Let's Just End Originality Now
Stop encouraging them!
Sometimes I wonder if online "reporters" would just stop asking about needless sequels would we actually stop getting them?
I mean, really? What will Anchorman 2 offer that the first one didn't? Wasn't Wake Up, Ron Burgundy already a sequel or was it just more garbage just like the movie? I don't know… I haven't watched it and haven't watched the first Anchorman since suffering through it the first time.
Adam McKay, the director of Anchorman as well as the equally awful Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby told Collider that he wants to do a sequel. He actually said, "Will [Ferrell] and I are like let's do Anchorman 2… so you're talking like 2 years maybe we'll do it. But we're going to do it, for sure."
For sure? Like, fa reals?
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're dying to do it," McKay continued. "Unless we can't get the cast together, which is always kind of a tricky thing. But, I think, with that cast we're all friends, so yeah, we want to do it."
What's it going to be about? Who the hell knows, but I already have a feeling typical rules will apply. The first film featured Ron Burgundy (Ferrell) as a popular '80s news anchor, the obvious direction this will go is to turn him into a … popular '80s news anchor! Ah snap, no I di'n't!
Yeah, and you know where the third film in the franchise fits in… the '90s. Burgundy is getting old, they are trying to push him out but they just can't get rid of him. It's the way of the world and predictable as hell. Of course, I could be wrong and it turns out great. But that would mean I was wrong, which we all know could never be.
