As network news continues to leak anchors and see their audience numbers sink, art, it seems, is imitating life. And so the newsroom lights go dark on Ron Burgundy, the legendary San Diego newsman turned iconic national co-anchor.
Out promoting his new indie film "Everything Must Go," Will Ferrell, who starred as the blustery, brain-dead late 70's local news anchor, blasted the suits at Paramount Pictures for their refusal to produce a sequel to the smash hit 2004 film "Anchorman."
The film, which cemented Ferrell's movie superstar status and brought Paul Rudd and Steve Carell to the forefront of comedy, grossed $90 million worldwide on a $26 million budget and is a regular television syndication favorite. Still, it's not enough to convince Paramount to green light a second film, Ferrell says.
What do you think of the "Anchorman 2"?
