According to Will Ferrell, recent reports suggesting that a sequel to his 2003 comedy “Anchorman” is in the works are bogus.
Ferrell says he’s about as interested as doing a sequel to that as he is another of his hits, “Elf” (another sequel he recently turned down). “Yeah, no I think that's because I said that, "oh that might be fun." But then it got written, "Anchorman" two in the works, you know”, Ferrell tells ComingSoon.net. “Yeah I guess if you stop and think about it there's a lot of pressure, but I can't worry about it.”
And though there’s a script for an “Old School” sequel on his desk – titled “Old School Dos”, Ferrell says it’s unlikely he’ll do it. Despite rumours the contrary, Ferrell says he never agreed to do it.
“Yeah that's a lie to, I don't know where that [came from]”.
The former SNL star seems to be a tad afraid of sequels. That makes three sequels he’s passed on this year, adding that he doesn’t plan on doing a follow-up to his hit “Talladega Nights” either.
