There will be another news team throw down in the sequel to 2004’s hit Anchorman. Director and co-writer Adam Mckaysays, “We already have a couple ideas for it.”
There’s no word if any of the news teams from the original will be back like the rival squad led by Vince Vaughn, or Ben Stiller and the Spanish-Language news team. And let’s not forget the public broadcasters led by Tim Robbins, or Luke Wilson and the Channel 2 news team. There’s a chance they won’t all return, because the sequel takes place during the rise of cable and the 24-hour news cycle of the late 1970’s.
Writer and Director, Adam McKay said, All of a sudden, local news stations diversified and had Latino anchors and African-American anchors, and any time you’re talking about diversity and the Action News team, that’s always fun to deal with.” We’re all rooting for this to be a hit.
