NEW YORK (AP) — Will Ferrell’s swashbuckling newscaster Ron Burgundy had his own breaking news to announce Wednesday night: A sequel to “Anchorman” is finally happening.
Ferrell made a surprise, in-character appearance on “Conan” to regale the audience with a flute solo and declare a deal with Paramount Pictures. A sequel to the 2004 hit comedy, “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” has long been discussed.
Ferrell informed host Conan O’Brien: “It’s official, there will be a sequel to `Anchorman.’”
Earlier, Paramount had declined a musical plan put forth by Ferrell and director Adam McKay that also included a proposed Broadway stage show. No details on the project were immediately available but McKay, producer Judd Apatow, and co-stars Paul Rudd and Steve Carell are expected to return.

Posted on March 29, 2012 at 8:35pmI didn’t like the movie because I WAS one of the first woman engineers at one of those San Diego TV stations and we were real women with real stories about breaking into a field dominated by men. The men didn’t quite know what to make of us. The Legend of Ron Burgundy made fun of that and I felt like my experience had been trivialized. I wasn’t trying to make waves or cause trouble. Television engineering was simply something that I wanted to do. I wasn’t there to “make a statement.”

“Well, that covers a lot of ground. Say, you cover a lot of ground yourself. You better beat it – I hear they‘re going to tear you down and put up an office building where you’re standing. You can leave in a taxi. If you can’t get a taxi, you can leave in a huff. If that’s too soon, you can leave in a minute and a huff. You know, you haven’t stopped talking since I came here? You must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle.”

or perhaps the more esoteric (from Animal Crackers)…
“Well, art is art, isn’t it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west, and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce, they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh… Now you tell me what you know.”

Posted on March 29, 2012 at 9:31amA lot of people thought it was dumb….also, a lot of people thought it was hilarious. I was one that fit into both categories. I really enjoyed the movie. But that is because sometimes you just want to laugh….not have to figure out why something is funny, but just laugh. I hope that the sequel is as funny and unexpected as the first. The part that will really make it funny, though, is the “return of Steve Carell”! Hilarious guy….Can’t wait to see “Brick” and his antics again…………”I wanted to invite you to the pants party.”
