Still there is no green signal for a sequel that Will Ferrell wishes to make of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004), which took him up to an instant recognition worldwide as a talented comic actor. Not only this, but Steve Carell and Paul Rudd also gained success for their roles in the movie.

In the movie, Ferrell played a title role of Ron Burgundy who is the legendary, but an ignorant newsman from San Diego that is an icon for the city. The Paramount Pictures is still refusing to produce a sequel despite a demand from the fans of the movie as well as a desire by its cast. For a movie made on a $26 million budget, it did tremendously well to have grossed $90 million internationally. The film is also a favourite for regular television syndication.

But all these facts are not moving the Paramount positively. According to Paramount Pictures, “We’ve run the numbers and it’s not a good fit.” Will Ferrell and Adam McKay have had an old school approach planned for the sequel that will now not come to life because of this decision. According to Ferrell, the studio people are being idiots and shockingly took a 180 degree turn on its earlier wish to make a sequel.
