With Anchorman: The Legend Continues one of the most anticipated films of the year, it's going to be hard to keep a lid on some of the film's secrets. Like who's coming back in small parts, and who's cameo-ing (we're not talking about someone like Harrison Ford, who looks to have a meatier role). So, if you want to know about three cameos, read on. If not, we...
When you've turned into one of America's comedy sweethearts, you're bound to land great roles in some of the bigger comedies to burst into theaters. Obviously we're referring to Kristen Wiig, the Saturday Night Live alum whose surprise hit Bridesmaids turned her into the comedy superstar that she is. So to find out that she's in talks to land a role as a love interest...
Now that Anchorman 2 is gearing up for filming at the start of early next year, we're getting little sneak peeks at what we should expect from the upcoming comedy. Here's a hint: it might involve a couple of more musical numbers.
Anchorman: The Legend Continues (or Anchorman 2, for those of you with short attention spans) dropped a new teaser onto the internet this morning (as if new teases for Skyfall and The Master weren’t enough for one day). A bit of a rush job, there’s no new footage in the Anchorman: The Legend Continues teaser, but it does round up Will Ferrell, Paul...
Ever since the March announcement that Anchorman 2 was finally happening, fans have been waiting for any kind of preview of the long-awaited sequel. This week, we get two—teasers for the film have been attached to prints of The Dictator, and today, we have a teaser poster heralding the film, it’s new official title, and a loose release date. Check it out after the...
With the news that Anchorman was finally getting the sequel its creators had tried to make (for years now), you'd figure they'd have their ideas and plans on lockdown. There was talk of testing it as a stage show, and all sorts of interesting rumors about the directions it could head, but writer/director Adam McKay has talked about their progress so far. He tells...
Cult comedy fans have something to rejoice about this morning—after years of Paramount Pictures stating it simply wouldn’t happen due to the low cost effectiveness of comedy sequels, Will Ferrell appeared on Conan on Wednesday night in character as Ron Burgandy. Why? To play a few flute solos, suggest host Conan O’Brien undergo plastic surgery after...
This past weekend we sat down to a press conference with some of the cast members of The Other Guys to talk about their upcoming mock-buddy-cop comedy. Writer/Director Adam McKay, Will Ferrell, Michael Keaton, Eva Mendes and Mark Wahlberg were all in attendance and ready to perform for the flip cams! Between Ferrell joking about forcing his children to watch him in...
Anchorman, Step Brothers, and The Other Guys director Adam McKay is looking for a new gig. Now that its been confirmed that Paramount won't greenlight the Anchorman sequel, he needs some fresh material. According to Collider, the director is a serious comic book fan and he's being courted as a potential...
Have you ever wanted something so bad you could taste it? We felt that way about the sequel to the 2004 workplace comedy Anchorman and guess what? It's not happening. After months of rumors and false hope, Paramount has officially given the Adam McKay project the shaft.
Hold on to your buddy cop movie cliches because the first trailer for Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg's comedy The Other Guys has hit the net. The film is directed by frequent Ferrell collaborator Adam McKay (Anchorman was awesome!) and co-stars the eternally cool Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson. There are explosions, there's dancing, and...
The buddy cop comedy The Other Guys, which was tentatively entitled The B Team has two new recruits. According to Variety, Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson will co-star in the film, that is being headlined by Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell. Production on the Columbia produced feature starts tomorrow and will be directed by Adam McKay.
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy has to be one of my favorite movies. The 2004 Judd Apatow produced film featured Will Ferrell as the title character, based in 1970's San Diego. Ever since the infamous "alley fight," fans have wanted to see more from Ron, Brian, Champ, and Brick. Over at Empire they spoke to Apatow himself about...
The Germans discovered it in 1904, and they called it 'San Diego', which in German means 'whale’s vagina'.
Here’s a sequel I’d love to see, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. There are so many quotable lines and ridiculous scenarios that stick out from that movie. The 2004 cult classic starred Will Ferrell as Burgundy, a...
When was the last time you saw Mark Wahlberg in a comedy? Recently, his resume has been filled with nothing but dramas and horror flicks, or in the case of The Happening a combination of both (a horrific drama). It's time for a change and I think Mr. Wahlberg is ready to take a walk on the "B" side. According to Variety, the actor will team up with funny man Will...
