What, not good enough for you, Hollywood? This is bullshit.

Will Ferrell has been attached to star for some time with Etan Cohen directing. Ferrell and Adam McKay are producing for Gary Sanchez productions.
The story follows a mild mannered radio exec, played by Ferrell, whose life gets chaotic when his wife’s ex-husband, played by Vaughn, re-enters the picture and he must compete to vie for his step-children’s affections.
Cohen, Brian Burns, Adam McKay and Chris Henchy are writing the script.
The film has been set up at Paramount for some time while the script was being done. The idea is for Vaughn to do this film before jumping into New Regency’s comedy “Business Trip” which he signed on to last month. [Variety]

Ah, the old two-guys-trying-to-one-up-each-other plot. Basically, The Campaign, but with Vince Vaughn instead of Zach Galifianakis, and children instead of voters. I’ll say this, the world would be a better place if people in the real world cared that much about the affections of the their stepchildren. I wrote a more realistic version of this story and it was just called “Shut Up, Stupid.”

Hot off the presses comes the news that Harrison Ford, who once played a crotchedy news anchor in that one movie about

Ford will play a legendary newscaster a la Tom Brokaw in the Adam McKay-helmed comedy, which begins shooting this month in Atlanta. [THR]

Pretty much every comedy actor you’d ever heard of at the time had at least a cameo in Anchorman, and the sequel adds to the originals Kristen Wiig, as Brick Tamlan’s wife, James Marsden, who won me over on 30 Rock, as a “hot young anchor,” and now Harrison Ford. And supposedly they’re trying to get Jeff Bridges to play a “Ted Turner-esque character.”

We could spend all day discussing the inherent difficulties in trying to recapture the magic of a beloved comedy classic (Caddyshack 2 anyone? The Austin Powers sequels?), but I’d much rather spend this time speculating about what Harrison Ford’s character’s name will be. Ron Bergundy, Veronica Corningstone, Brick Tamlan, Wes Mantooth – the best thing about Anchorman was the names. What could Harrison Ford’s character’s name be? We’ve compiled a list of possibilities:

When the internet found out a sequel to Anchorman was happening, the response was nearly Arrested Developian. And it’s about to get positively bacon-esque when Kristen Wiig joins the cast as Brick Tamlan’s love interest.

Kristen Wiig is being eyed for a role in “Anchorman: The Legend Continues” for Paramount Pictures, a person familiar with the negotiations has told TheWrap.
Wiig would play opposite Steve Carell, as a love interest in the sequel. The script is still being written, and no cast beyond the principals has been set.
The film is a sequel to the 2004 hit, “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” and is due to be released in October 2013. [TheWrap]

Brick of course loves lamp and is borderline retarded, and rarely knows what we’re yelling about. I think Kristen Wiig is fantastic, though she’s better when she’s more real and there’s someone around to edit her. But something tells me a role opposite a retarded Steve Carell in an Adam McKay movie is going to involve them puking oatmeal on each other while they cane each other in the crotch and sing showtunes. Actors, man. You know how they are.

“Ooooooklahoma where the wind comes….”

It shouldn’t surprise us when actors decide they want to sing because, hello, have you met actors? Getting them not to sing is the hard part. Seth MacFarlane couldn’t make a 30 second commercial without putting a showtune in it. And so it goes with Anchorman 2, according to director Adam McKay, as he tells

“There will be some music in ‘Anchorman 2′ though for sure, we have some songs already written,” he shared.

“We were going to do ‘Anchorman 2′ as a Broadway musical first, for like six months and then go shoot the movie. That was our initial idea,” he also added. Does he mean whole sequences? ”Whole song sequences, absolutely,” he said.

“The music sequences we have done — we did ‘Afternoon Delight’ [in 'Anchorman'], Adam Scott and his family singing ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ [in 'Step Brothers'], we did a whole song for ‘Talladega Nights‘ that got cut out, a big, big musical number — we always do it live on the set,” McKay said. “And my thing is, if the actors get freaked out, don’t sweat it, we can always re-record it later. And every time we’ve done it, we end up using the live track from the recording. We’ll probably do it the same way in this.” Though, he cautioned: ”This one might have a little more movement in it, and the only problem with that is the actors get winded.”

Ooh, movement? Does that mean dancing? God, I hope it’s of the Paul Rudd variety:

Bros! Remember when DP and Dasher were trying to finger cuff Buttsex Lindsay after the DG slave auction, but the whole thing got shut down when Asian Steve hit that waiter with a pint glass and got tazed by the cops because he was still butthoused from tequila sunrise? And we almost lost our charter because we were still on probation from when those Pike homos ratted us out during the pledge retreat goat roast? Well think of how crazy that was and double it, because now Anchorman 2 has a teaser, and this time it’s the legit version, like the Mercedes I got from Stinky’s uncle’s dealership, not the crappy knock-off version we had before, like those counterfeit Macbooks Boner got busted for selling. Well? What are you waiting for? HOUSE THAT SH*T, YOU FAGG*TS, CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! You’re never getting my sig if you keep drinking like a single mother. OPEN YOUR THROAT, PUSSY, THIS AIN’T NURSING SCHOOL! I swear to God I’ll ding your entire pledge class if I have to. We’ve done it before, ask Chode.
