'Anchorman 2': Will Ferrell Confirms The Sequel Is Coming!

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Anchorman 2  has been given the go-ahead, according to an announcement made by Will Ferrell himself on last night’s edition of ‘Conan’.

While appearing in character and playing a jazz flute, Ferrell broke the news about the long-awaited Anchorman sequel getting the green light:

“As of oh-nine-hundred hours Mountain Time, Paramount Pictures and myself, Ronald Joseph Aaron Burgundy, have come to terms on a sequel for ‘Anchorman.’ It is official: There will be a sequel to ‘Anchorman.'”

The funny-man actor then played more of his  jazz flute as he rolled off stage  into the curtains.

The announcement puts to rest fears that Anchorman 2 would never take place.

Although a release date was not a part of Ferrell’s announcement, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, and David Koechner are reportedly expected to reprise their roles from the original.  Reports also claim that Judd Apatow will once again produce the comedy film while Adam McKay will return as director.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
