The first official picture of Ron Burgundy and the news team in Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues has surfaced on the cover of Entertainment Weekly’s Fall Preview.
The film doesn’t come out until Dec. 20, but fans are no less excited about the sequel starring Will Ferrell as Burgundy, Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), Brick Tamland (Steve Carell), Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd) and Champ Kind (David Koechner).
EW notes it’s been almost ten years since Anchorman came out, becoming a cult classic since then. It has become one of the most popular movies after its 2004, yet Ferrell and director Adam McKay couldn’t quite make their dreams of a sequel a reality.
”We all resigned ourselves to the fact that it was never going to happen. It just didn’t seem to get any traction,” said Carell.
The film is set a few years later, with Burgundy losing everything and has resorted to working as an announcer at Sea World but getting a chance at a comeback with a shot at cable news.
Comingsoon.net notes he of course takes his news team with him.
