Support NeoGAF

[big ander]

I know we know the main supporting trio is returning along with Ferrell, but I wonder who else will come along. Would love to see Applegate do something actually funny again, would like to see Parnell and Hahn play bigger roles, would like to see Rogen's character again.

And Paul F. Tompkins' character needs to become a major player.

 

[Phat Michael]

I hope it's not as hopelessly unfunny and overrated as the original.

I love the anti-trend smug cool guy who has to loudly voice his opinion in every thread so people respect that he doesnt like what he likes. awesome.

 

[m@gic]

This is excellent news!

I just watched Anchorman again on TV last night

 

[Sobriquet]

Amazes me just how much footage they had left over from that masterpiece.

You wouldn't believe how much great stuff was left on the proverbial cutting room floor.

 

[Kapura]

yesssssssssssss

 

[TemplaerDude]

I hope it's not as hopelessly unfunny and overrated as the original.

Oh you're soooooo cool.

[Divius]

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS my #2 favorite comedy get sequeeeeellll

How is "wake up Ron Burgandy" I've never seen it.

Only worth watching if you're a fan.

 

[geeko]

First movie was hilarious. Can't wait for the second.

 

[MarkMclovin]

All over my FACE!

 

[D23]

am i the only here that don't remember anything from the movie?
brb watching it again.

 

[Willkiller]

Oh God yes!

 

[Cindres]

Super excited but also super worried it'll be a let down.

Hey, can't be worse than Wake Up Ron Burgundy, that thing was horrible.

 

[RevDM]

Whales Vagina!

 

[bud]

anchorman, the greatest comedy of all-time.

How much of a hit pay-wise did Carrell and Ferrell take to get this made?

 

[jackrubyn]

Super duper! Neat-o, gang!

 

[Wilbur]

Without a doubt no one comes close to the comedy of Will Ferrel over the last 10+ years.

Talladega Nights
Anchorman
StepBrothers
Land of the Lost (I dont give a fuck, THIS MOVIE IS FUNNY!)
The Other Guys
Semi-Pro
Old School
etc..

Even his 1 man show as President Bush was amazing and I'll go as far as to say I enjoyed Strager then Fiction and Elf
Even his cameos in movie/TV shows remain classics like Zoolander.


Seriously, who is consistantly as funny as Will?

Stranger Than Fiction is better than everything there but Anchorman, don't be shy. And even then it's only Step Brothers which is funny, everything else is pretty bad.

I don't have mad love for Ferrell but I fucking love Anchorman. I feel like its a lightning in a bottle movie, but should be fun to see the old gang back together

 

[codhand]

 

[Timedog]

Where did all the files go?

 

[Jimothy]

That escalated quickly. I mean that really got out of hand fast.

 

[Timedog]

Well, everyone knows Custer died at Little Bighorn. What this book presupposes is... maybe he didn't.

Rule #1: Never Leave a Fellow Crasher Behind.

What the sequel needs.

I love you bud.

 

[Anticitizen One]

All I ask is that Christina Applegate and that texas guy with the big cowboy hat come back

 

[WillyFive]

Stranger Than Fiction is better than everything there but Anchorman, don't be shy.

Yeah. Those two movies are probably Will Ferrel's greatest work.

 

[davepoobond]

i actually didnt like Anchorman that much, but if they do something that has more story to it i can dig it.

 

[zlatko]

This is incredible news since Anchorman is my favorite comedy next to Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

So what are we thinking for release date here, summer 2013?

 

[Pachterballs]

I can't help but think that this is Will Ferrell's way of making sure you know... it seem like he still has Hollywood klout

The guy just probably needs a hit movie

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

I just saw this thread on the first page and then I JIZZED IN MY PANTS.

 

[Lonestar]

Keep seeing that at least the news team is back. Carrell, Rudd, and David Koechner.

 

[Cat Party]

How is "wake up Ron Burgandy" I've never seen it.

It's not a real movie. They filmed two different plots for the original Anchorman, and Wake Up uses the scenes that didn't make it into the feature film and cuts them as if they are a sequel. It's not meant to be very coherent, but there is an entirely new plot in there, involving a left wing radical group robbing banks.

 

[Az]

LOUD NOISESSS

I am excited!!!!

 

[sixteen-bit]

Hey look a fan of The Hangover!

Never seen it.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I just saw this thread on the first page and then I JIZZED IN MY PANTS.

The pants party got out of hand.

 

[Marleyman]

Excellent news

 

[Carbonox]

 

[Kave_Man]

EXCITED!

But he does still have high standing in hollywood. He's been doing more personal or small projects, like Everything Must Go or Casa de mi Padre or Tim and Eric, but Megamind and The Other Guys and Stepbrothers are not out of the public consciousness. Overall he breaks about even on hits vs. flops, all while having nearly everyone in and out of hollywood like him.

 

[y2dvd]

To this day, I still remind my coworker that she's just a woman with a small brain. It's just science.

I assumed that group was meant to parody the group from Network. I only skimmed through it though. I liked that they had a scene with the producer's son (and he was the Mac guy).

 

[Escape Goat]

baxter, you are my little gentleman.

 

[cousins]

Seriously, who is consistantly as funny as Will?

Almost anyone. The only good movies he's been in that I can think of off the top of my head are:

Talladega Nights
Anchorman
Old School
Stranger than fiction

And, Anchorman was the only great one. I hope he doesn't fuck up the sequel.

Which, FWIW, is the original plot. The panda stuff was done months after the movie was in the can.

But practically the whole movie was made up on the spot.

 

[leadbelly]

Don't ruin it!

 

[Expendable.]

First teaser, which I assume is an announcement piece, will be attached to The Dictator.

holy CRAP

so soon

but yeah, guessing Burgundy in probably some kind of news spoof announcing the movie. No real footage.

Hype! Hopefully Will and Christina both behind a news desk announcing the movie!

 

[dmshaposv]

Make Carrell the lead.

Brick was the best character. Get rid of Ferrell or demote him to supporting.

You being serious? Brick as lead would be awful.
