Ron Burgundy is back this year, and he’s going to be unstoppable. Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues is already slated for release just in time for Christmas, and is guaranteed to be one of the funniest movies of the year.

The first teaser trailer hit almost a year ago to the day, and with filming expected to be completed this month, a brilliant new teaser trailer has been released, getting the gang back together once more.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but the cast alone is enough to make this an absolute must-see this year.

Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, and David Koechner are back as the leading quartet, with Christina Applegate back as Veronica Corningstone. And starring alongside them will be Kristen Wiig, Greg Kinnear, Harrison Ford, Josh Lawson, Fred Willard, Chris Parnell, Luke Wilson, and Vince Vaughn.

David Koechner, Paul Rudd, Will Ferrell, and Steve Carell are back with their one-liners. In the second trailer released for Anchorman: The Legend Continues, the Channel 4 crew attempts to deliver their best catchphrases.  As the narrator jokes, "Jesus, McArthur, Jay-z—the great ones always return, and when they do, one thing's for sure: Their hair will be perfect." The boys then debut their liners with Carell's character's resulting in a fail. "Happy Easter" is Brick Tamland's best attempt.

The Most Surprising "Anchorman 2" Cameo Yet!

8 May 2013 4:18 PM, PDT | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »

Is Kanye West going to appear in "Anchorman 2?" That's the surprising claim from Hollywood.com which reported that West was seen in downtown Atlanta shooting a scene with Christina Applegate and Paul Rudd, both returning to their original "Anchorman" roles. West, the true diva that he is, was apparently afriad of heights and "required an umbrella for shade most of the time he was on the roof." Lol indeed!

So who else are making cameos in "Anchorman 2?" Let me count the ways. There's Amy Poehler and Tina Fey (reportedly shooting a scene also this week), Sacha Baron Cohen, Harrison Ford, Liam Neeson and Nicole Kidman.

Kristen Wiig will join original cast members Will Ferrell, Steve Carrell, Fred Willard, Chris Parnell, Luke Wilson and Vince Vaughn, as Brick Tamland's (Carrell) wife.

Are more "Anchorman 2" cameos on the horizon? I'd say yes! »

The Latest 'Anchorman' Cameo Goes To ... Kanye West?

8 May 2013 1:59 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

The "Anchorman 2" premiere is going to need a large red carpet, because the potential guest list just keeps getting longer. Not that we're complaining, but this latest cameo came a surprise: Kanye West was reportedly spotted filming a spot.

Hollywood.com reports that West was spotted in downtown Atalanta filming a scene with Christina Applegate and Paul Rudd, both of whom are returning from the original "Anchorman." The witness, who saw the trio filming on a rooftop, reportedly says West was "quite afraid of heights and required an umbrella for shade most of the time he was on the roof."

West's role in the movie is yet to be announced, but given the cadre of A-listers cameoing in the film, he's in excellent company. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey were spotted filming a cameo this week, rounding out a list that already included Sacha Baron Cohen, Harrison Ford, Liam Neeson and Nicole Kidman. »

Jon Benjamin, Judy Greer, Amber Nash, Chris Parnell, Aisha Tyler, Jessica Walter, George Coe, Adam Reed, and Lucky Yates. The fourth season airs Thursday nights on FX.

A Night Out With Suburgatory's Chris Parnell & Ana Gasteyer

20 March 2013 4:00 AM, PDT | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »

What a pair of jokers! Chris Parnell and Ana Gasteyer cracked up audiences in the 1990s with memorable Saturday Night Live impressions like Tom Brokaw and Celine Dion. They now bring that same level of wackiness to ABC's Suburgatory as married suburbanites Fred and Sheila Shay. The duo took the stage at Los Angeles' premier improv school, the Groundlings, and reminisced about their comedy roots...

Meagan Good And Dylan Baker Sign On For Anchorman: The Legend Continues

28 February 2013 7:49 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

As great as the core cast of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy was - featuring Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, David Koechner and Christina Applegate - perhaps even more impressive was its supporting cast and impressive number of cameos. Fred Willard, Chris Parnell, Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson, Tim Robbins, Ben Stiller, Seth Rogen, Kathryn Hahn, Danny Trejo, Fred Armisen, Paul F. Tompkins and more found their way into the crazy story of reporters down in San Diego, so why would we expect that Anchorman: The Legend Continues would be any less star-studded? Kristen Wiig, John C. Reilly, James Marsden and Terence Stamp have all been mentioned in regards to the cast of the upcoming sequel, but now Deadline has added a couple more names to that list. Meagan Good, who currently stars on the television drama Deception, and Dylan Baker have both signed on for parts in the »

Archer renewed for season five

News Louisa Mellor 28 Feb 2013 - 07:31

13 new episodes of animated spy comedy Archer are on their way as the celebrated show receives a fifth season order...

That pesky limitation, the number of hours in the day, is the only reason this site has yet to fully engage with acclaimed animated comedy Archer. It's a show that, like Lost Girl, or newcomer Cult, has slipped through the gap between what we aim to cover and what we've managed so far. Fans of Adam Reed's egomaniacal international spy and co. rest assured though; Archer is on our list.

Those fans can also rest assured that Archer is going nowhere for the time being, as it's just been picked up for a fifth season. FX programming boss Nick Grad called the show "one of the very best comedy series on television", praising its "incredible cast (which includes H. Jon Benjamin, Aisha Tyler, »

Box Office: Where in the World Did 'Escape From Planet Earth' Come From?

15 February 2013 1:11 PM, PST | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

At the box office, President's Day weekend offered one big out-of-this-world shocker. Sure, "A Good Day to Die Hard" opened at No. 1, as expected, and "Safe Haven" did well over Valentine's Day weekend, even better than predicted. And no one expected much from "Beautiful Creatures," so it can't be said to have underperformed. But popping up in fourth place, with a surprisingly strong $16.1 million, was a 3D cartoon that seemed to have come out of nowhere, "Escape From Planet Earth." Here's a kids' film that's not based on a familiar title or franchise, one without A-list stars in the leads, made by off-brand animators (Rainmaker Entertainment, which had never made a theatrical feature before) for an indie studio (The Weinstein Company), with marketing below the radar, no screenings for critics, and a nasty stench from the legal battle that kept the movie out of theaters for two years. Plus, the »

Released by The Weinstein Company, and produced by a team of relative unknowns (a.k.a. not animated household names Pixar and/or DreamWorks), this passionate and sharp adventure, with a touch of heart, is firing on all cylinders despite the familiarity of the story arc.
