The TV Addict 

Word on the street, by which I mean the intersphere (I made that up, what do you think) is that we may be getting that ANCHORMAN sequel sooner than Will Ferrell last led us to believe. Collider recently interviewed director Adam McKay who had the following to say:

Adam McKay: I’m looking to do another movie, I might do this other movie called Channel 3 Billion which is kind of this science fiction/Brazil type comedy. Then after that, Will and I are like let’s do Anchorman 2…so you’re talking like 2 years maybe we’ll do it. But we’re going to do it, for sure.

Collider: That’s like 100%?

Adam McKay: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We’re dying to do it. Unless we can’t get the cast together, which is always kind of a tricky thing. But, I think, with that cast we’re all friends, so yeah, we want to do it.

Personally, I’m a huge fan of ANCHORMAN, and considered it one of the greatest comedies I’ve ever seen (it’s also incredibly quotable). That of course means on the one hand I’m pretty excited about the prospect of a sequel, on the other hand I’m worried that a sequel would just fail to live up to its predecessor and just screw everything up. It’s always hard as a big fan of something to ask yourself whether you want more of something you love, or just want to stick with what you got, and know is good. Sort of like a commitment phobic boyfriend.
