Judd Apatow once predicted that a sequel to Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy would make for a juicy movie…in 30 years. However, the film’s director, Adam McKay, recently told Collider that moviegoers won’t have to wait for Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and David Koechner to sprout massive liver spots, four divorces a piece and a scrapbook of mug shots before a second helping of ’stache fills up theaters…
“I’m looking to do another movie, I might do this other movie called Channel 3 Billion which is kind of this science fiction/Brazil type comedy. Then after that, Will and I are like let’s do Anchorman 2…so you’re talking like 2 years maybe we’ll do it. But we’re going to do it, for sure.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We’re dying to do it. Unless we can’t get the cast together, which is always kind of a tricky thing. But, I think, with that cast we’re all friends, so yeah, we want to do it.”
Personally, I’d still like to see a sequel in which the main characters are aged 70 and gloriously smashed on the rocks of time. Stretch the wise-ass sarcasm and free association in a new direction, maybe hire Ernie Hudson. What would you like to see from an Anchorman 2?

Yah, we posted that yesterday and Warner Bros. threatened to never make Slashfilm: The Movie if we didn’t take it down. WWJD?

I made this video after I saw Anchorman to convince my wife that Afternoon Delight should be played at our wedding.

Yo! HUNTER! What about “Wake up Ron Burgundy?”
Wasn’t THAT the second film?

A lot of my friends hated Anchorman, but I thought it was hilarious. I’d love to see a sequel happen.
And orange cinema, I’m with you. I need new quotes!

Will Ferrell sucks.

I kid you not, just last week I told my girl that if I had three wishes, a sequel to Anchorman would be the third one. I guess this means I’ll be rich and have 24 hour access to any and all diseese free Asian hookers too. Sweet.
