Anchorman 2


Okay. I've been waiting for someone else to open this - hate seeing my name as the first in these threads, but no matter. Here I am.

I must say that I'm pretty excited about this new project. Shooting starts in March, and it's late February.
And what's also great about this is the anticipation by critics and audience alike. Nice.

Now they're doing a casting call for extras in Atlanta, GA. I wonder if that's where they're going to shoot this. Wasn't the original done in San Diego?
This looks like another breakout role for our Mr. Marsden. The cast is excellent, and he's going to fit right in. And thanks to Bachelorette, he's had history with this company; with McKay and Ferrell, anyway.

Rival anchorman - maybe with a touch of nastiness/evil? But nice evil, not like that in Gossip. But JM is a more mature actor, now, so it has to be more interesting and nuanced, not just a punk kid with a bad history of abusive behavior and parental rejection.

Maybe also with an on-air insulting match.
Oh, yes. I'm looking forward to this. It could be more than good. I also see this as a turn in James Marsden's career. I'm anticipating the next one.
