I still wouldn’t work up a lot of hope that anything will change there, but McKay is now saying that the studio at least heard the pleas of fans for a sequel, and suggests that there might be some effect down the road. Read More »

We’ve talked about the possibility of an Anchorman sequel for quite some time, and early this year it seemed like the film had a chance to see the light of day. But Paramount passed, and now director Adam McKay offers both the final word (more than likely) on the sequel, and teases a detail that might make you mourn it just a little bit more. Read More »
