With the ANCHORMAN sequel coming to cinemas in December, director Adam McKay and producer Judd Apatow have organised a charity live-read of the brilliant first film ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY. McKay and Apatow will be joined by cast members Will Ferrell (‘the Human Torch was denied a bank loan’), Christina Applegate (‘doesn’t it mean Saint Diego?’), Steve Carell (‘I love lamp’), Paul Rudd (‘60% of the time, it works every time’), David Koechner (‘whammy!’) and Jack Black (‘that’s how I roll’), along with host Conan O’Brien. The event is taking place on 21st November and all money raised will go to the charity 826LA, who provide free education programmes for children.
VIP tickets cost $500 and can be purchased at the 826LA site here.
