Everyone’s got a story about this today and it seems like the quote’s being blown out of proportion. But at the premiere of Madagascar 2 in London, Ben Stiller had this to say about the possibility of a Zoolander sequel:
“I feel that is the sequel I really would like to do some day because I like the original and I would make sure it was something new and worthy of it first.” [TheSun]
Zoolander is one of the rare movies to which a sequel might actually be a good idea. The first made a fairly modest $60 million worldwide (on a $30 million budget) and then became sort of a cult hit on DVD. It’s easily the high point of Stiller’s acting career, and Mugatu is probably my favorite Will Ferrell character. If the same movie came out today, it’d make $100 mil, easy. Need proof of its popularity? Check out the mouth on virtually every greasy dipshit on the internet and tell me they’re not doing Blue Steel.
On second thought, maybe a Zoolander sequel’s not such a good idea.

ALL HAIL THE GATOR!

I’d rather see Cable Guy 2
It’s about time! i’ve been eugoogoolizing the first one ever since i saw it.
Anchorman 2 before this, surely.
They’ve already made about 5 sequels to Anchorman.
I’d rather watch an Aries Spears biopic.
Well, just as long as Fred Willard is in it.
Does this mean I’d have to move back into my frat house? Because I will.
The good news about assholes doing Blue Steel is that they’re not talking while they’re doing it. I say get that sequel out as soon as possible.
That’ll be $4.65, Panda.
There are plenty more jokes to be had with that character.
You know what would make us all feel better? Orange Mocha Frappucinos!!
Shut up, Billy Zane.
Stone, the voices arent real!
whoa, maybe mine are. I call them Stone.
Other than the fat people in the last picture, it would appear that this expression may have originated on Guido Beach.
More Billy Zane!
Pic #5: is that one of the kids from “Growing Up Gotti”? No? Then fugeddaboutit.
If the same movie came out today, it
would suck
Don’t you mean greasy Italian dipshits? Or can we just label the entire state of New Jersey as Blue Steel dipshits?
Those pictures smell like rape.
Absolutely fucking not. When Drake Sather died, so should have any talk of a sequel. Stiller & Co. will shit on his memory.
I don’t really see the Blue Steel in the second pic. Douche bags, yes, but no Blue Steel.
i disagree. make a sequel. i’d love to see more ads on myspace and facebook advertising funny quotes for movies that came out forever ago. this is only going to fuel the fat kids in the back of the class wearing i love lamp and balls models shirts with mystery stains and cat hair all over it.
