Ron Burgundy on Broadway? And sequel.



Will Ferrell has confirmed that he wanted to kick off his Anchorman sequel with a Broadway show.

Speaking to Radio 1, the comedy star admitted that he and co-stars Paul Rudd and Steve Carell were "ready to go" on a follow-up, which would have seen a Broadway stage production lead into a sequel.

He said: "We had this great idea where we would start it, we’d open it - we’d start with a Broadway show, I'm not kidding. We would do Anchorman 2, the musical on Broadway, and then from there into a film."

Commenting on the reasons why Anchorman 2 hasn't happened, Ferrell said: "The sad story is that we finally decided we would love to do a sequel and then we talked to all the guys, and it was lined up to do it, and we presented it to Paramount Pictures and they said 'great', and then it turns out they didn't want to do it."

Anchorman star Christina Applegate recently said that all the main cast are still hoping to appear in the sequel.

Would you see this, ONTD?

I think a sequel would just cheapen the original
maur_ani23 14th-Sep-2010 03:23 pm (UTC)
This film was fucking shit.
maur_ani23 14th-Sep-2010 09:53 pm (UTC)
Why thank you.

No, I would not. This movie was not funny.

I'm sooo over Will Farell, but there needs to be an Anchorman sequel.
boomstick 14th-Sep-2010 03:24 pm (UTC)
Oh my fucking balls I would see this in a second.
procedurals 14th-Sep-2010 06:39 pm (UTC)
My thoughts exactly. Paramount has some fucking idiots who are turning this down. There have been some shitty comedy sequels out there but Anchorman is gold, the sequel would be at least silver or bronze.

Even the "extra movie" that came with the DVD (Wake Up, Ron Burgundy) was hilarious.

Plz no for Broadway. The things they're thinking of bringing to the stage lately are just stupid. O hai, limited engagement of Elf the Musical.
minderbinder 14th-Sep-2010 03:26 pm (UTC)
Shrek should never have happened. Well, lots of things should never have happened, but Shrek in particular was awful.
jennfan24 14th-Sep-2010 03:32 pm (UTC)
Ngl, I adored Shrek. I thought it was really cute...so much better than the movie! Sutton Foster. <3

"Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina."

yourlivewire 14th-Sep-2010 03:27 pm (UTC)

NO FUCKING THANKS
baboona 14th-Sep-2010 03:26 pm (UTC)
this movie was painfully unfunny
asha_greyjoy 14th-Sep-2010 03:29 pm (UTC)
I agree
theratwhispers 14th-Sep-2010 04:14 pm (UTC)
You need to have an OVER THE TOP humor, in order for it to be funny. I like random over the top humor, I love Monty Python and Aqua Teen Hunger Force type stuff. If that type of crazy over the top stuff isn't funny than this movie won't be funny to you, at all.

/this is the ONLY Will Ferrel movie I LOL'D at though
govthookers 14th-Sep-2010 04:10 pm (UTC)
Agreed. But, then again, I find almost all Will Ferrell movies to be unfunny.
theciz 14th-Sep-2010 03:26 pm (UTC)
Honestly, idg the hype about this movie. I gave up after 25 minutes because it was boring and I hadn't laughed once. :/
yunaresuka 14th-Sep-2010 03:26 pm (UTC)
I hated this movie the first time I saw it and then after being forced to watch it again I liked it. Idky it's just one of those movies I had to see twice. And then 108 more times apparently.
