The road to the highly anticipated "Anchorman 2" has been a long one. Since "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" arrived in 2004, there were reports from cast and crew confirming a sequel and announcing a script was in the process of being written.
But the words were then taken back, leaving fans dizzy and disappointed believing they wouldn't see the anchormen reunite. Finally, when all hope was lost, Ferrell made a surprise appearance on "Conan" as the legendary Ron Burgundy to announce that the sequel was greenlit.
With the "Anchorman 2" teaser trailer playing before Sacha Baron Cohen's "Dictator," the Lebanese Cinema Movie Guide released the first official poster. It shows the Channel 4 news team's feet standing on set in the studio, the bottom of their suits — including Ron's signature burgundy number, presumably not bought at the toilet store — keeping it classy as always. The official title of the film appears at the bottom in big, bold print ("Anchorman: The Legend Continues") with a release date of 2013.
While the film is still in the very early stages of development, the first movie's director and co-writer Adam McKay will reunite with Ferrell to pen the script and the principal cast is set to return, including Steve Carell and Paul Rudd. When MTV News spoke with McKay back in 2010, he told us he expected much of the cast to come along for the sequel.
"We had an idea, and we contacted Steve and Paul and [David] Koechner and Christina [Applegate] and checked in with everyone, and they were all game for it," McKay said. "It's a tricky movie, because everyone went and did really well after it, so everyone's prices went up and everyone's time got a little more valuable. But at the same time, graciously, Steve and Paul and everyone agreed to cut their price to come and do it, which you don't see very often in Hollywood — and cut their price substantially."
Thanks to the cast's commitment, Ron and the rest of the anchormen are set to hit theaters in 2013. Until then, stay classy, moviegoers.
