It’s Kind of a Big Deal: ‘Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues’ Trailer & Poster

by Jordan Magrath · June 19, 2013

A sequel to the most quotable movie in the world will be barraging your Facebook newsfeeds for years to come starting this Christmas. Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues is the longly-awaited follow-up to Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy from 2004.

Although not the most critically-received comedy, there’s no denying Anchorman is a truly legendary film. It’s got hilarious characters, perfectly-scripted (or maybe not scripted) lines, and knee-slapping scenes.

Let’s hope Anchorman 2 can continue the trend. Unlike the teasers, the new trailer (released late last night) shows a bit of plot. The newsteam will be returning to television to star on a 24-hour news station. Ron’s life is a lot different than where we left off in Anchorman, but then again so is everybody else’s (look at Brick for goodness sakes).

Returning Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, and David Koechner, while adding Kristen Wiig (Bridesmaids), Anchorman 2 should be a riot. Directed again by Adam McKay, the film will release on December 20, 2013.
