Anchorman 2 Buzz
Straight from the whale's vagina!

October 6, 2006 - The Human Torch may get denied a bank loan again. Will Ferrell has announced his intention to make a sequel to his 2004 TV news spoof, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.


The actor recently spoke about the proposed project while doing press for his next release, Stranger Than Fiction, at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Ferrell even knows what he wants to see happen in the film. "I would love to do a sequel," the actor told The Toronto Star. "I was thinking, all of a sudden, for no reason, he's a European correspondent and has to do foreign languages which he knows nothing about."

And you know he doesn't speak Spanish.

The biggest obstacle in the project's way is time. Ferrell and his filmmaker pal Adam McKay are swamped with a bunch of other projects, namely Step Brothers.

The paper suggests that Ferrell and McKay might be willing to "put (Step Brothers) on the back burner and get going on an Anchorman sequel."

Columbia Pictures, the studio behind Talladega Nights, snapped up Ferrell and McKay's pitch for Step Brothers in August. McKay and Ferrell would write the script for producers Judd Apatow and Jimmy Miller. Filming was reportedly set to begin next summer.

First one looked dumb as all hell, why bother with a sequel?

if you're not a fan of will ferrell, you're not gonna like the move. that said, i am, and i thought it was hilarious. plus, it brought in nearly $100,000,000 at the box office, so i'm sure they figure they can come close to that again.

Loved it, there's got to be tons of cameos again... maybe he tries to learn Spanish from Ben Stiller's Telemundo anchorman character.
