The first teaser trailer for a sequel to Adam McKay‘s Anchorman hit last week, and bootlegs have been floating around for a few days. Now there’s an official release of an all-new teaser trailer for Anchorman: The Legend Continues, aka Anchorman 2, as well as a good online version of the theatrical cut.
Both teasers are pretty simple stuff, but some of the essential goofiness that made Anchorman a favorite is there: namely, Steve Carell gets right back into character as Brick Tamland as the rest of the Action News Team (Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, and Dave Joechner) spew their own brands of nonsensical idiom.
Check out the new teaser below, along with the one that has been in theaters for a few days. Read More »

Steve Carell‘s first really big starring role came in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, but he’s playing a man much more experienced in matters of the heart and body for the new Hope Springs (formerly titled Great Hope Springs). As a respected relationship therapist, he dishes advice to a couple (Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones) growing bored of their decades-long marriage. Watch the new trailer after the jump.

Oh Steve Carell, what aren’t you in talks for these days? Having recently wrapped Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, Hope Springs, and The Incredible Burt Wonderstone — and attached himself to Despicable Me 2, Foxcatcher, Lunatics, The Dogs of Babel, Conviction, and Magic Kingdom for Sale — SOLD! — Carell is now said to be circling Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, a live-action adaptation of the Judith Viorst children’s book. Lisa Cholodenko (The Kids Are All Right) has been signed on to direct since last year. More details after the jump.

After seemingly years of studio opposition, Anchorman 2 is finally becoming a reality. So said San Diego’s #1 news anchor, Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell), when he stopped by Conan Wednesday night to play some jazz flute and make the official announcement. Watch the video after the jump. Read More »
It’s starting to feel like every time we turn around, Steve Carell has attached himself to yet another project. Having wrapped Seeking a Friend for the End of the World and Great Hope Springs, Carell’s now in the midst of filming The Incredible Burt Wonderstone and lending his voice to Despicable Me 2, with Charlie Kaufman’s Frank or Francis lined up next.
Beyond that, he’s attached to Bennett Miller’s Foxcatcher, the Dave Barry adaptation Lunatics, John Carney’s The Dogs of Babel, the Black List script Conviction, and another film with Crazy, Stupid, Love. directors Glenn Ficarra & John Requa. And now, we can add the comedic fantasy Magic Kingdom for Sale — SOLD! to that list as well. Good grief. More details after the jump.

NBC’s Community may be on hiatus, but don’t think for a second that its cast has been slacking off. Not only is production still in full swing, several of the show’s stars have been working on outside projects as well. Gillian Jacobs, for one, has just wrapped Revenge for Jolly! and has a part in this summer’s Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. She’ll next head to Burt Wonderstone, with Steve Carell and Jim Carrey.
Directed by Don Scardino (30 Rock), the comedy centers around a Las Vegas magician (Carell) who finds himself upstaged by a hipper illusionist (Carrey). He then ditches his partner and tries to rediscover his passion for magic. Jacobs is set to play a woman who hooks up with Carell’s character after meeting him at one of his shows. The film already boasts a seriously talented comedic cast, with Brad Garrett, James Gandolfini, Steve Buscemi, and Olivia Wilde on board as well, and Jacobs seems like a fantastic addition. Burt Wonderstone is currently shooting in Las Vegas for a 2013 release. [THR]
After the jump, Jacobs’ Revenge for Jolly! co-star Oscar Isaac nabs another new role.
