Indeed, soon Anchorman might have not only had bad sequels, but bad sequel names ("Shrek Forever After"?).Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05222052132452709301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435253058176416288.post-76034624905124055112010-05-04T14:16:22.487-05:002010-05-04T14:16:22.487-05:00I'm not sad about this.

The last I'd want is for "Anchorman" to turn into the festering turd that is the "Shrek" franchise.M.

Somebody needs to stand up and fight against the sequel machine - especially sequels of franchises from generations past.<br /><br />Interesting point about the cost, Castor, because one would think they would be confident this would make some sweet moolah from the fan base. As ambivalent as most fans may be, pretty much everybody would show up to see what a sequel would be like.<br /><br />If it's a sign that Hollywood is moving beyond sequels after a decade of churning them out, now THAT would be awesome.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05222052132452709301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435253058176416288.post-47316172355557179422010-05-02T11:19:39.246-05:002010-05-02T11:19:39.246-05:00Shocking!!!

Anchorman is one of my favorite comedy of last decade so I'm sort of glad they don't get a chance to ruin it but this might a sign of the times that a (costly) sequel is not being made.Castorhttp://www.anomalousmaterial.com/moviesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435253058176416288.post-21765007163131625712010-04-30T18:05:30.951-05:002010-04-30T18:05:30.951-05:00It's a good thing you don't read a lot of ...It's a good thing you don't read a lot of crappy movie news sites because whenever any Anchorman cast member would turn up for a press junket, one of them would ALWAYS ask about a sequel and they'd always get the same non-answer "Everyone wants to do one, but there's no script yet and no one has agreed to pay for it."<br /><br />I'm sooooo glad Paramount peed on this particular campfire just to stop these stupid questions. Now if people would just stop asking Bill Murray about Ghostbusters 3, I'd be a happy internet camper. Wait, no I wouldn't. I'm actually enjoying his increasingly cranky responses.Craig Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00924813294666616097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435253058176416288.post-74268769989572110282010-04-30T16:58:04.961-05:002010-04-30T16:58:04.961-05:00See, but I feel like even if they got everyone bac...See, but I feel like even if they got everyone back (which would be the ONLY way it should be done) it would be a different situation. Nobody could buy Carell as Brick anymore because he's a huge star (same goes for Paul Rudd, kind of). And Ferrell's characters have been recycled enough so that they're already wearing a little thin. <br /><br />Yes, the more I think about it the more I realize this truly is a cause for celebration. And people should celebrate by watching and savoring Anchorman.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05222052132452709301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435253058176416288.post-195940156020883042010-04-30T14:38:21.811-05:002010-04-30T14:38:21.811-05:00It is probably for the best.

That being said, if anybody could... it would only work if they get everyone back. At least that would give the filmmakers a fighting chance.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.com
