Harrison Ford signed on to be in Anchorman 2. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he is going to play a “legendary newscaster a la Tom Browkaw.” Neat. The film begins shooting this month in Atlanta. The original cast of Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, Christina Applegate, and David Koechner will return. Kristen Wiig has also been thrown into the mix. If I had to speculate I’d say we’ll also see a cameo from Vince Vaughn again and maybe someone like Jonah Hill. One thing’s for sure, this is gonna be one hell of a Judd Apatow and friends circlejerk.
Mr. Ford is hopefully going to appear in another sequel, this one of the Star Wars variety. In the meantime he has three films coming out: 42, Paranoia, and Ender’s Game.
Are you excited for Anchorman 2?
Well, the first one was hilarious, so I’m pretty excited for it. It was also cameo and star studded, like that one scene that had Ben Stiller and Tim Robbins show up, so I’m looking forward to seeing it. Although I’ll probably wait till it comes out on video, can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a comedy in the theatre. They are just as funny on a small screen.
I’m torn… I mostly cringe when I see what is considered a “serious” actor show up in a film like this. There won’t be middle ground for me, I’ll either love him more or lose respect for him. I hope I love him more.
Sooooo excited for this! Oh Han Solo **swoon**
