Well like the stench of Sex Panther, the persistent rumors of an Anchorman sequel just wouldn't go away. Rejoice fans of the 2004 classic and feel the deep burn of victory!
Although Will Ferrell said just a month ago that Anchorman 2 was deader than the guy Brick killed with a trident*, his alter ego showed up the other night on the Conan O'Brian show and played a different tune
Dressed in full Ron Burgundy regalia and smelling of rich mahogany, Ferrell/Burgundy played jazz flute and announced that Anchorman 2 has been green lit. Leave it to Ferrell to go big with the announcements. Now whether this is legitimate or faker than Mr. Burgundy's mustache remains to be seen.
While some of you may be screaming "WHAMMY!" at this point in celebration, you may want to dial things down a bit before you get invited to the pants party. I hate to be the Wes Mantooth of the bunch and urinate in everyone's Cheerios, but I think an Anchorman sequel is an awful idea. The first film was a quotable, iconic comedy classic. In fact it's kind of like this generation's Caddyshack. As a fan of the original, I don't want Anchorman 2 to be Caddyshack 2. I wish this film had stayed in development hell but the people of SAN DEE-AH-GO and the world have spoken.
No word yet on when Anchorman 2: A Whale's Vagina will be released.
*Ferrell also announced last month that the script for Step Brother's 2 was completed.
