Second 'Anchorman 2' Trailer Released Before Script Completed

A second Anchorman 2 trailer has made its way on the web despite the fact a script has not been completed and all the cast has not been assembled yet.

Filming hasn’t begun either,  but fans can still get hyped off the two new trailers that  feature Channel Four’s crazy news team. Since actual film footage won’t be shot until February, moviegoers will have to settle for a plot-less teaser which only aims to build excitement about riding the palomino stallion.

One of the teasers debuted on Will Ferrell’s Funny or Die site, while the other Anchorman 2 trailer ran in theaters before The Dictator. They both are significantly different than each other, although  both begin with the San Diego’s Channel Four news team emerging through the fog on a  silhouetted lighted stage.

David Koechner, Paul Rudd and Steve Carell all reunite with Will Ferrell  for Anchorman 2. Adam McKay will be writing and directing the movie which currently has an unknown release date.

You can catch the theater version of the Anchorman 2 trailer here, while the Funny or Die version of the trailer sits below:


Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

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.
