Will Ferrell on "Anchorman" and "Step Brothers" Sequels
Posted: May 3rd, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com StaffCollider and CinemaBlend had the chance to speak to Will Ferrell about whether there are any plans to develop sequels to his "Anchorman" and "Step Brothers" comedies, which where both directed by Adam McKay.
"We just had a great meeting with John C. Reilly about maybe another 'Step Brothers,'" said the actor. "Because 'Anchorman' is a brick wall right now."
Ferrell went on to say that Paramount Pictures is simply not interested in "Anchorman 2." But believes there is a way to change the studio's mind. "You really have to assert some sort of email hate campaign to Paramount Pictures," he explained. "They've told us, 'We've run the numbers and it's not a good fit.' So that one is a no-go, sadly."
