Is Will Ferrell Bringing Ron Burgundy Back?

filmschoolrejects.com — "Will Ferrell mentioned the fact that he had been performing skits as Ron Burgundy during his Funny or Die Comedy Tour. He went on to explain that bringing the character back for these limited engagements has got him thinking of ways to possibly bring him back to the big screen, as in, we are talking Anchorman sequel here."

  • bSimms, on 02/19/2008, -2/+70perhaps he is just throwing this idea out there. and if we don't like it we can throw it right back.
  • Superperson, on 02/19/2008, -12/+72I love lamp
  • fussbucket, on 02/19/2008, -8/+61Hasn't he been playing Ron Burgundy in his last 5 films anyway?
  • iannuttall, on 02/19/2008, -10/+61It's so damn hot! Milk was a bad choice!

    I'd welcome an Anchorman sequel. I absolutely loved the film and it's still one of my all time favourite comedies to this day!
  • ahoyhoy, on 02/19/2008, -3/+42Do you really love lamp or are you just saying you love lamp?
  • MarkCiccone, on 02/19/2008, -5/+43I'm Ron Burgundy?
  • sjbdallas, on 02/19/2008, -11/+49I'd rather he keep classic characters like this down to one film. Sequels increase the chance of him screwing it up.
  • 4LeggedtriPod, on 02/19/2008, -6/+36Brick: What the hell's diversity?
    Ron: Well, I could be wrong, but I believe, uh, diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.
    Ed: I'm sorry Ron but I don't think the station is looking for an old wooden ship. Nice try.

    Best scene in the whole movie.
  • joshradde, on 02/19/2008, -16/+45Bad idea. Like drinking milk.
  • FallenHero, on 02/19/2008, -1/+21Not much because Jesus is kinda already well known...
  • ahoyhoy, on 02/19/2008, -5/+25Great Odin's Raven!
  • demodawid, on 02/19/2008, -2/+22I love lamp...
  • synaesthesia, on 02/19/2008, -1/+20You know whats really funny? Irrational and excessive anger at a minor annoyance
  • Majorcrash, on 02/19/2008, -4/+21I wasn't aware Ron Burgundy was gone, just using different names.
  • darkwing81, on 02/19/2008, -0/+17you are a dirty pirate hooker
  • adooga, on 02/19/2008, -2/+18Anchorman was the best movie Will has done. Yes I'd like another, please.
  • Buddhist, on 02/19/2008, -0/+14You are a very angry child.
  • WhatsUpWithJack, on 02/19/2008, -0/+13Good point, but if a sequel is greenlit, there's not much chance of Ferrell screwing it up. Just ramp up the writing.
  • dvsbastard, on 02/19/2008, -0/+13DAMMIT! Who typed a question mark on the teleprompter?
  • demodawid, on 02/19/2008, -3/+15I have many leather-bound books, and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.
  • mtrip, on 02/19/2008, -0/+12LOUD NOISES!
  • MoonwalkingBird, on 02/19/2008, -2/+13Adam Sandler? You serious???
  • bthug7, on 02/19/2008, -5/+16Jeez o jeez whats up with the digg skeptics. He's Will Ferrel, if he wants to do a sequel of one of the greatest comedies in the last 10 years we should thank him and be grateful.
  • bawpcwpn, on 02/19/2008, -2/+12I'm a man that built the Eiffel tower out of metal and braun! That's what kind of man I am! You're just a woman, with a brain the third the size of us. It's science.
  • Hypermarkalan, on 02/19/2008, -1/+10So let me get this straight--you're saying that Chevy Chase has more "range" than Will Ferrell? Have you ever actually seen a Chevy Chase film?
  • l0k0, on 02/19/2008, -3/+12Oh Audrey - I look like hell! I got bags under my eyes. What's that? Well if you were a man, I'd punch you. Punch you right in the mouth. That's bush. Bush league. YOU HEAR ME? AUDREY! LOOK AT ME! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Alright?
  • yoshman, on 02/19/2008, -0/+8And I'm *****... I'm Ron Burgundy.
  • KMartSheriff, on 02/19/2008, -3/+11Dude get over it this is like your 5th post bitching about him.
  • RoloTomasie, on 02/19/2008, -4/+12This is kind of a big deal...
  • goreyend, on 02/19/2008, -11/+18please no
  • stilesja, on 02/19/2008, -7/+14Ehhh... hard to say but I'm leaning towards "don't do it". The thing I like about Ferrel is that he's not out there milking his ideas until there is no more life. I'm sure no one agrees with me but I feel this is where he has passed Mike Meyers. He keeps inventing... I loved Austin Powers but the sequels ruined it. Shreck was a great flick too, but no need for the sequels. We're they good? yeah, but by making them the originals are no longer classics. As evidence: "History of the World: Part One" A true classic with no sequel despite the Part One designation.
  • schizogony, on 02/19/2008, -0/+7I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT!
  • Synn, on 02/19/2008, -0/+6Doesn't have range and much of his comedy is the same thing over and over? I can say the same thing for Murray, Ackroyd, Chase, Martin, Farley, and Sandler.
  • disoriented, on 02/19/2008, -1/+7Great idea. I recently saw him doing Ron on his tour. He came out on stage at The Ohio State University and had a sit down with our president Gordon Gee. They talked about drugs, life, and the yazz flute.

  • schizogony, on 02/19/2008, -0/+6I'm Ron Burgundy?
  • otatop, on 02/19/2008, -0/+6That was just a movie cut together from outtakes and some final film from Anchorman.
  • miriv365, on 02/19/2008, -1/+6God that escalated quickly, I mean that really got out of hand fast, didn't it?
  • ganlet, on 02/19/2008, -4/+9long as I don't have to watch it
  • MeatyVitamin, on 02/19/2008, -1/+6Oh, Baxter, you are my little gentleman! I'll take you to foggy London town 'cause you are my little gentleman!
    This burrito is delicious but it is filling!
  • feshmania, on 02/19/2008, -0/+5i'm sorry, all i heard was Christina Applegate sucks with her mouth.
  • alittleroy101, on 02/19/2008, -0/+4Bangor you must be the life of every party.
  • KMartSheriff, on 02/19/2008, -0/+4Hot cup of coffee!
  • Ventolin, on 02/19/2008, -6/+10Jesus, how much exposure does he need?
  • whiledo, on 03/25/2009, -0/+4As I said in another comment, Stranger Than Fiction is one of my favorite movies. I don't hate Will Ferrell, I just hate That Guy. You know, the one he usually plays.
  • kickelephant, on 02/19/2008, -0/+4Has anybody seen Stranger Than Fiction? He CAN act without being a *****
  • insomniac8400, on 02/19/2008, -0/+4No that was extra footage from the same movie.
  • 4LeggedtriPod, on 02/19/2008, -0/+4Double checked to make sure and it was Brick's.
  • 4LeggedtriPod, on 02/19/2008, -1/+5Well played sir. Well played.
  • LordVance, on 02/19/2008, -5/+8Do you like Bond movies? Or any movie with multiple sequels? He is not playing different roles, the entire point to his act is that he takes that one character and drops him into different settings. Think of his series of films based on good 'ol RB as literally one set of films, similar to the Bond set, just having different names. It is one "project." If you don't like it, that's fine - but criticizing him for playing the same character multiple times is just entirely missing the point.

    Now, I dugg you up here - because you were not nearly as obnoctious in this post as your posts further up the page; just know that they are being burried not because you are making a bad point (over and over and over again), but BECAUSE you ARE bEING a giaANT douCHE ABOUT IT and taking the whole THING entIRELY TOO SERIOUSLY LIKE OMG I CANT EVEN TURN OFF THE CAPS ANYMORE AND I JUST ***** MY PANTS!
