- ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND CONTINUES
Production on Anchorman: The Legend Continues is poised to
get underway in Atlanta next week, as fans are understandably eager to find out
what kind of shenanigans the Channel 4 news team will find themselves in.
The entire team from the first film returns, with Adam McKay
and Will Ferrell writing the script, McKay directing.

Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, David Koechner, and
Christina Applegate reprising their roles.
New additions to the cast include Kristen Wiig as a love interest for
Carell’s Brick, Tamland and James Marsden as a fellow anchorman and “Ron
Burgundy’s nemesis,” but plot details thus far have been few and far between.
We previously learned that the story of Anchorman 2 will
revolve around the characters dealing with the 24-hour news cycle, and McKay
explained to Empire that Ron’s personality will but heads with the 24-hour
mentality:
“If he wasn’t a giant A-hole, everything would be okay. By
the end he’s got to be a little less of an A-hole, but that’s still a little
hard for him to do.”
The director also revealed that the film’s setting maybe
moving from San Diego to New York City:
Talking about the move to New York city, McKay went on to
say that, “San Diego is too close to Ron’s heart to go away, but we feel that
New York City is the holy grail for all newsmen.”
Finally, McKay touched briefly on Wiig’s character and her
relationship with Brick:
“Brick’s so far gone that you can’t have a relationship with
him,” [McKay] laughed, admitting that Kristen Wiig’s character will be tempting
him to do just that. “It takes a special someone to get a rope snare around his
heart. She is dangerous!”
