LOUD NOISES!!!! Anchorman sequel in the works

Ron Burgundy stopped by Conan to make the announcement:

And ... WHAMMY!

 

"Oh Audrey - I look like hell! I got bags under my eyes. What's that? Well if you were a man, I'd punch you. Punch you right in the mouth. That's bush. Bush league. YOU HEAR ME? AUDREY! LOOK AT ME! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Alright?"

 

I wonder if this will be like Austin Powers, where the sequel is far more successful (financially) than the original.

 

Will James Westfall and/or Dr. Kenneth Noisewater be in it?

 

Is it a sequel, or just the release of Wake Up, Ron Burgundy?

 

I love the idea of more Rudd, Carell and Koechner. I hate the idea of more Vince Vaughn or another Ben Stiller cameo.

 

That was my first thought, too. I'm guessing it probably will. Anchorman made 91 million.

 

Sequel. The original pitch of the movie was to do it as a full-blown musical.

 

I'm curious to know if Ferrell really wants to do this, or if it became a "They're offering $20 million." type deal.

 

Interesting theory. He just released a telenovela movie done completely in Spanish, which I don't think did very well.

 

I loved the original. Not sure how much I am looking forward to the sequel. It has the potential to flop real bad. After watching the original, as much as I loved it, I never once thought "Damn, I hope they make a second." I never thought it needed it. I thought it stood well on its own.

This has cash grab written all over it. There are no new ideas in Hollywood and they're looking for acheap way to make a shit ton of cash. Anchorman 2 fits the bill.
