Adam McKay Says 'Anchorman 3' Won't Happen


...he's moving on to new projects and says there will be no 'Anchorman 3.' I honestly haven't seen "Anchorman 2" yet, so I don't know if this is welcomed news or not. I loved the first film, however.

Cheers!

I'm fine with it, especially given that there are gonna be 2 alternate versions of anchorman 2, supposedly with over 700 new jokes. How much more do we really need? It's time for more original movies.

Having said that, I definitely wouldn't complain if a 3rd one came out.

reply

Yeah, there will be more than 700 new jokes!

Are you listening to this? 700 NEW JOKES! HAHAHAHAHA!

I'm laughing already!

It reminds me of the Star Wars prequels, which had over 700 NEW SPECIAL EFFECTS!

And have you seen 12 Years a Slave? It had over 700 NEW TEAR-JERKERS! That was an amazing drama, let me tell you.

What confused me about him saying he wants to work on new characters and a new work makes me worried he doesn't want to do any sequels, I really want The Other Guys 2 movie.

Seems like its for the best. I don't think there would even be a good plausible plot for a third movie storywise.

I wish he had made that decision after the original. Anchorman 2 sucked ballz.

A2 in cringe worthy, took me on and off 4 months to watch it, only made myself finish because I needed to free up ram in my cell and post here.

It deserved to crash and burn in theatres, they try to hard to be funny, and random jokes work sometimes but NOT nonstop tru a 2 hour movie.

The movie felt 100% improvised which generally not bad with Farell, problem is they wanted to leave as much in ass possible,hence shooting themselves in foot.

laughed like 3 times

1. Winnebago scene
2. Batwings gag
3. cant remember 3rd..
