Anchorman to report again
Will Ferrell and team are set to return in the sequel to the 2004 hit comedy Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy.
Sources claim that everyone is on-board (from Applegate to Carell to Rudd) for Anchorman 2 and now they're just waiting for a greenlight and money from Paramount before taking the next step. "It's a tricky movie because everyone went and did really well after it, so everyone's prices went up… But at the same time, graciously, Steve and Paul and everyone agreed to cut their price to come and do [the sequel]."
"That's loosely what the idea is," McKay said. "[The '80s angle is] more the frame of it. We have this other, bigger, crazier idea that's really more what it's about, which I can't say. Our thinking was there's just no way the second one is going to be as good as the first, because the first one is the first one. So our idea is if we're going to do a second one, we better go for it and try some insane stuff and we'll be enjoying it and that way it can't be half bad."
