Ladies & Gents: Anchorman II

Ron Burgundy is making a comeback.

Actor Will Ferrell, after jamming on a flute, announced on “Conan” that he plans to make a sequel to his popular movie “Anchorman” in which he played San Diego-based local news anchor Ron Burgundy. The movie was a send-up of TV news and 1970s culture.

He stopped by the show in character to say that he was launching the project and that Paramount would be making the film. The original movie, directed by Adam McKay, came out in 2004 and co-starred Christina Applegate, Paul Rudd, David Koechner, Steve Carell and Fred Willard.

“It is official, there will be a sequel to ‘Anchorman,’” Ferrell said, and then went back to playing his flute, or at least pretending to do so.

Ferrell’s representative gave Speakeasy additional details on the project: McKay will direct the new movie, there won’t be a 2 in the title and Ferrell and McKay are writing the script together.

What do you think? Are you looking forward to the “Anchorman” sequel? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

Watch the clip.

This so much. An absolute classic is about to get ruined by a shitty sequel.

I hope it's like the first 3/4 of Anchorman 1, and not at all like the last 1/4

bump.

I just saw it. I had high expectations and think the movie came pretty close to meeting them. I think they did a good job with balancing reoccurring jokes with new ones. It was funny...and obviously worth seeing

Also, I caught a few things that changed front the trailers. In the trailer, When ron was eating dinner at Linda Jackson's house with the family (the black chick), I could swear he said something along the lines of "which one of you convicts wight the longest record can pass me the butter" The phrase got replaced with something a little weaker... I wonder if it was special interest groups or something that lobbied against some of the racist cuts Another thing in the trailer but not the film was the gay character... which ron and ppl could not understand what it meant to be gay. Again, I'm sure someone up top decided it was too offensive .

Coincidental bump, I just saw it.

It is the straight up funniest movie I have ever seen.
Over Stepbrothers, The Dictator, The Hangover, Fubar (doubt anyone's seem that)

But you really have to have the right sense of humor. Or be super stoned i suppose

Was it actually good? I have low expectations just because there is so much hype around it, but I will see it anyway. Was it as good as the first?

it was close to as funny. The only reason it was less funny is because some of the jokes are recycled.

Just got back from the theater. It was ok but not as good as the first. Started off a little slow, but it was still enjoyable to watch

Haven't seen it. But the longest I went without laughing was like 5 minutes.

Even though the dude next to me laughed once.

Really? I saw the preview and ended it with a big 'meh' and have heard its really just no where near as good. I don't know if I want to ruin the original - same with Super Troopers.

If you are in the right state of mind and enjoy the same humor as the first, it is a great movie. I though the trailers made it look ok, but it was way funnier than I expected from start to finish.
