Those excited by Will Ferrell’s confirmation of a sequel to his comedy gem, ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY (that should be the whole planet), will be interested to hear what director Adam McKay has in store for our favourite San Diego jazz-flute playing newsreader. Ron Burgundy, and the Channel 4 news team, may be about to swap the seventies sexual politics that had us in stitches, for the controversial subject of racial equality. Check out McKay’s comments:
We know these guys never deal well with change, and the good thing is that there’s a big blast of change coming, according to the regular timeline. We’re going to be throwing a lot of innovation at them, and they’re not going to handle it well.
It’s right when all the news started changing with the 24-hours news cycle in ’78 or ’79. All of a sudden, local news stations diversified and had Latino anchors and African-American anchors, and any time you’re talking about diversity and the Action News team, that’s always fun to deal with.
Paul Rudd’s sex-panther-wearing Brian Fantana is expected to return as well as Steve Carell’s scene-stealing mentally-challenged Brick Tamland. We are still waiting on confirmation on the likes of David Koechner, Christina Applegate and Fred Willard.
