WASHINGTON – In the words of Ron Burgundy:
“Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention. I’ve just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story. I need all of you, to stop what you’re doing and listen.”
A poster for the much-anticipated sequel to the 2004 movie, “Anchorman,” is stirring excitement among fans of the swashbuckling newsperson. Even more exciting is the fact that a trailer to the movie is now playing before screenings of Sacha Baron Cohen’s “The Dictator.”
the one-minute clip seems to indicate the official title of the new film is “Anchorman: The Legend Continues.”
The news is so big, Burgundy himself took a break from drinking his “scotchy, scotch, scotch, scotch” to make the announcement on Twitter:
On Twirtter to say the A2 teaser is in theaters tonight with Dictator. Done. Now having a Cutty Sark & watching McCloud
— Ron Burgundy (@RonBurgundy)
The same day, Anchorman director Adam McKay also took to his Twitter account with a more cryptic message:
See the Dictator (I worked on it and it’s crazy funny), in addition to Campaign trailer with Zach and Will there’s another treat before it.
— Adam McKay (@GhostPanther)
Burgundy made the original announcement about the sequel in late March, when he appeared on Conan O’Brien’s talk show.
“I want to announce this to everyone here in the Americas — to our friends in Spain, Turkey and the U.K., including England — that as of 0-900 Mountain Time, Paramount Pictures and myself, Ronald Joseph Aaron Burgundy, have come to terms on a sequel to ‘Anchorman,'” Burgundy said, before launching into a flute performance with Conan O’Brien’s band.
