It’s being reported over at CinemaBlend that the long rumoured return of Ron Burgundy in Anchorman 2 is dead in the water, but that a sequel to the Will Ferrell/John C. Reilly Step Brothers is in the works.
The site speaks to Adam McKay who talks about Anchorman 2 being dead for sure:
“It’s not happening, for sure, one-hundred percent. I’ll put it to bed. The only way it could come back [would be] in two years, three years, but to line everyone’s schedule up and to get everything done, and when it fell apart, to put that back together again your still talking about waiting. If I go do The Boys, that’s another two years, year and a half. You don’t know what people are doing when I get done with that. It’s a lot of work to line it up. That was why, no hard feelings against Paramount, we were doing many cool projects over there, but that’s why when it didn’t quite work out with the numbers it was like “that’s it.” You can’t wait for that or be in a holding pattern. But, oh well. Maybe it’s for the best. You don’t need sequels for everything. It was such a great experience doing that, but let it stand.”
So that’s the bad news, but the great news is McKay, Ferrell and Reilly maybe working on Stepbrothers 2! This is awesome news! I know Anchorman is the more popular of the two films, but really they shouldn’t be compared they’re two completely different beasts. Personally I think Step Brothers is absolute genius and would love to see Huff and Doback back on the silver screen!
Boats ‘N’ Hoes.
