For my last blog post I will be giving you information about the much anticipated movie Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, set for a December 20th release. The movie is chalk-full of A-list actors and actresses in both large and small roles, and is expected to debunk the idea that sequels can never live up to glory of the original. The first movie, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, was released in 2004 and talks of a sequel started in 2008. Now that the wait is finally over, it will be interesting to see how the sequel is received.Who should see this movie? • People who loved the first movie • Fans of Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd or David Koechner • Anyone in the mood for a good laugh • Those of you who never saw the first movie and are curious what all the hype is about (though you should really see the first one before watching the sequel).
Production Secrets/Fun Facts • Prior to filming, several thousand dollars’ worth of filming and production equipment was stolen from the warehouse it was being stored in. • A role was offered to Jennifer Lawrence but she had to decline due to scheduling conflicts. • Kanye West has a cameo in the film, and the rapper apparently went above and beyond for his role, showing up for additional scenes even when he didn't have lines. • The crew has so much footage that they've actually talked about putting together two entirely separate movies: same plot, but with different jokes.
Still unsure whether to put this on your must-see list? Maybe watching the trailer will help make your decision easier. Click the link below to watch the most recent trailer. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VdGI5-z_hg --Shelly Crossland

You've done a really job laying out all the facts and it definitely got me excited for the second movie! I cannot wait to see it, and I think your post did a really great job hyping up the move, like Gillian said. It's organized and kept me entertained and excited!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for this movie to come out! I literally just saw this first one and you got me hyped to see the new one that's coming out. I literally felt I was reading an amazing explanation of the movie. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat piece of writing that got me really excited for this movie to come out! I like the part about "debunking" the sequel myth often times associated with movie sequels. Smart choices about where to include links to outside sources because people might want to read up on the actors within the film.
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to see this movie! Thanks for the informative post!
