Confirmed: Anchorman News Team Definitely Returning!
May 5, 2008
Source: Collider
by Alex Billington


After initially reporting a rumor back in February that Will Ferrell wanted to bring back Ron Burgundy in an Anchorman sequel, we now have some confirmation. Collider recently caught up with Will Ferrell's friend and collaborator Adam McKay, who directed Anchorman, Talladega Nights, and the upcoming Step Brothers. McKay told him that they're definitely going to do Anchorman 2, but probably not for another two years. Hell yes! I don't mind the wait - just bring Ron Burgundy back! He's one of the greatest characters Will Ferrell has ever created and the other members who make up the news team are some of the best comedians around.

McKay told Collider that "we're going to do it, for sure" and was asked if that meant it was 100% going to happen. His answer: "We're dying to do it. 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." As always, this doesn't mean it is in production and everyone knows that in Hollywood, nothing is official until it's being filmed, but for now it sounds like they're really going to try and make it in two years. Ferrell has already reportedly been reprising his role as Ron Burgundy in live comedy tours.

I said it originally and I'll say it again - damn I can't wait to see this come back! I loved Anchorman, almost more than any other Will Ferrell movie, and it would be amazing to see them return with the original cast and all creative talent attached. I can already foresee this even becoming better than the original - but that might be tough to achieve. Either way, I'm going to cross my fingers and hope Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, and David Koechner all return!

It would be hard to fail with that cast, though.

Well yes and no. Will Farrell has done a lot of junk recently, I don't automatically see anything Will Farrell anymore. I do thoroughly enjoy Paul Rudd and Steve Carrell. Plus, it has the added weight of trying to live up to the first one.

If you want a comedy with a can't miss cast, I suggest directing your eyes to Year One (2009)

That's an understatement. I share your concerns.

He does his best with strong comedic actors around him, and fortunately the returning cast adds that. I agree though, I found 'Talladega Nights' to be somewhat enjoyable, but overall a letdown, 'Blades of Glory' to be a total turd and 'Semi Pro' to be decent, but nothing special. I like him best as part of an ensemble, like in "Old School" or his bit appearance in 'Wedding Crashers'. 'Anchorman' was still a "Will Ferrel" movie, but had a great supporting cast.

Ferrell and McKay developing 'Anchorman 2'

Ron Burgundy fans rejoice! It looks like Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, the brains behind Anchorman, are ready to put the sexist, freewheeling newscaster back in the anchor chair. McKay tells EW.com that he and Ferrell have begun work on a sequel that could jump ahead a decade to the '80s

Too much Will Ferrell . Every movie is the same. He was funny in Old School and his bit part in Crashers. His schtick was funny for a while, but it's now old and stale.

Pluss he's an SC schill so we'll be seeing his ugly face on tv 9/13. Screw him.
