Released in 2004, Anchorman has gone on to be one of the most quotable comedies and it’s hard to believe after nearly a decade later and many rumors, a sequel is actually arriving. After a few teasers featuring our team on a soundstage, we’ve now got our first official trailer for Anchorman: The Legend Continues, which includes the debut footage from Adam McKay‘s highly-anticipated comedy.
The sequel puts Ron Burgundy and crew in the ’80’s, where Will Ferrell‘s character attempts to solve race relations and tackle the Big Apple. It’s a classy, funny look to get us primed for the late-year release and thankfully, all the cameos are still being kept under wraps here as can see the return of our Channel 4 News Team, alongside newcomers James Marsden and Kristen Wiig. One can check it out below, also featuring Steve Carell, Paul Rudd and David Koechner.
Synopsis:
With the 70’s behind him, San Diego’s top rated newsman, Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell), returns to the news desk in “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.” Also back for more are Ron’s co-anchor and wife, Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), weather man Brick Tamland (Steve Carell), man on the street Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd) and sports guy Champ Kind (David Koechner) – All of whom won’t make it easy to stay classy…while taking New York’s first 24-hour news channel by storm.
