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 prospect of bringing the news team together for one more broadcast.
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 sexist, self-centered, and not too bright news anchor who leads the number one news team in the San Francisco Bay area. For years there have been rumblings of a possible sequel, but now according to some of its stars, things are beginning to look a lot more serious.
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 Ferrell to star in an action comedy entitled, The B Team.
