'Anchorman 2': Christina Applegate confirmed to reprise role
1 June 2012 5:53 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
The blond beauty who stole Ron Burgundy's heart in "Anchorman" is officially coming back for the sequel.
Christina Applegate is confirmed to reprise her role as Veronica Corningstone in "Anchorman 2," this according to Entertainment Weekly. Word of the possible casting leaked out in an E! Online interview with film co-star David Koechner.
When asked if Applegate will be in the long-awaited picture, he tells the publication "Yes, yes." Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and Koechner are already confirmed to return for the follow-up to the hit 2004 comedy.
As for what the movie will be about, co-writer and director Adam McKay has previously stated that the film takes place "right when all the news started changing with the 24-hours news cycle in '78 or '79...All of a sudden, local news stations diversified and had Latino anchors and African-American anchors, and any time you're talking about diversity and the Action News team, »

Christina Applegate will be in Anchorman 2
1 June 2012 4:23 PM, PDT | Filmonic.com | See recent Filmonic news »
To quote Ron Burgandy: “I wanna say something. I’m gonna put it out there; if you like it, you can take it, if you don’t, send it right back.” I’m probably going to catch all sorts of flack for this, but Christina Applegate is my least favorite part of the original Anchorman movie. She’s a [...]

Christina Applegate Confirmed for Anchorman: The Legend Continues!
1 June 2012 12:30 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
A few weeks ago, the first teaser trailer was released for Anchorman: The Legend Continues, which confirmed that Will Ferrell's co-stars David Koechner, Paul Rudd, and Steve Carell are reprising their roles as Champ Kind, Brian Fantana, and Brick Tamland. Today we have word that Christina Applegate will also return as anchorwoman Veronica Corningstone.
Back in April, director Adam McKay revealed he was contacting the actresses representatives and said there was, "something for her" in the story. It isn't known how large her role may be in the sequel at this time. The director also stated that this follow-up will revolve around the advent of the 24-hour news cycle, and the growing diversity of TV news in the late 1970s.
Adam McKay is directing from a script he's currently writing with Will Ferrell. Production is tentatively scheduled to begin in January.

Which Celebrities Didn't Make the Cut in Piranha 3Dd?
1 June 2012 11:39 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Today's the day that Piranha 3Dd (review) sets forth on its feeding frenzy across 75 theatres and on VOD in the U.S., but news has come that some planned celebrity cameos never made the cut. Read on!
MovieHole reports that during the scripting stage Bob Weinstein had suggested there be more celebrity lifeguards than just Hasselhoff. Off the cuff he threw out names like Snooki, Kim Kardashian, and Charles Barkley. Lord knows we'd have loved to have seen at least two of those cats on the menu!
Piranha 3Dd reteams Feast director John Gulager and writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan in the sequel starring Danielle Panabaker, Matt Bush, Chris Zylka, David Koechner, Meagan Tandy, Paul James Jordan, Jean-Luc Bilodeau, Adrian Martinez, Clu Gulager, Gary Busey, Katrina Bowden, Christopher Lloyd, Ving Rhames, Paul Scheer and David Hasselhoff.

Christina Applegate Confirmed for 'Anchorman: The Legend Continues'
1 June 2012 10:56 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
The core of the Channel 4 News Team is already confirmed to return for Anchorman: The Legend Continues with Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd and David Koechner all reprising their roles. But what about some of the other supporting cast members? Well, when McKay talked about how the sequel finally got a greenlight from Paramount he mentioned that they were working on something to allow Christina Applegate to return as Veronica Corningstone. Now E! Online has word from Koechner (promoting Piranhaa 3Dd) that Applegate is definitely coming back and Celebuzz (via The Playlist) has confirmed it. Very few plot details are known as the script is still being written, but McKay has talked about the film dealing with the dawn of the 24-hour news cycle and something involving a "custody battle" and "bowing for dollars." Might Ron Burgundy and Veronica Corningstone be getting a divorce? It would make »

Christina Applegate reporting for 'Anchorman 2'

When the Channel 4 News Team reunited in the teaser trailer for Anchorman 2, there was one crucial member missing. Ron Burgandy’s non-male co-anchor Veronica Corningstone. Rest assured, German-speaking residents of Whale’s Vagina San Diego, Christina Applegate will be back to joust and jest with our fearless leader. The actress’ spokesperson confirms a report from E!, who asked costar David Koechner about her return on the red carpet of Piranha 3Dd.
Details about the new film’s plot are still sketchy, but Koechner said that “It’s set around the advent of the 24-hour news channel.” Obviously, that »

'Anchorman 2' News: Christina Applegate Is Back, Baby!
1 June 2012 8:07 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Ever since the first teaser for "Anchorman 2" dropped like a comedy A-bomb on the world two weeks ago, fans have been asking one question: Whither Veronica Corningstone? Okay, so most of them weren't using the word "whither," but still, while it was great to see Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and David Koechner in their polyester suits again, the absence of Christina Applegate was glaring.
Well, good news: According to Celebuzz, Applegate's representatives have confirmed that she will indeed be returning as the number one woman in broadcast news, Veronica Corningstone.
Corningstone, of course, was one of the main characters in the original "Anchorman;" indeed, without her presence as both an antagonist and love interest for Ferrell's self-centered Ron Burgandy, there wouldn't have been a story at all. So she's kind of a big deal.
Until now, though, it hadn't yet been confirmed that Applegate would be returning for the sequel. »

Christina Applegate Confirmed For 'Anchorman 2'
1 June 2012 6:41 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
After Will Ferrell dressed up as Ron Burgundy and announced that "Anchorman 2" was a reality (sending an army of "Anchorman" fans into hysterics), the first plot detail that co-writer/director Adam McKay revealed was that it might contain a custody battle and, possibly, "bowling for dollars." The former would assume that Christina Applegate was set to return as Veronica Corningstone to have some kind of custody battle with Burgundy, yet when the teaser poster and two teaser trailers arrived, only Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and David Koechner appeared. Not to worry, Applegate will be returning as well.
Koechner was the first to spill the news, telling E! Online that Applegate was a "yes" to return, and then the actress' reps confirmed the news to Celebuzz. Koechner also confirmed that the sequel would be "set around the advent of the 24-hour news channel," something McKay revealed to be true in April. »

Christina Applegate Back for ‘Anchorman 2’; Model Anne Vyalitsyna Makes Debut With ‘Good Day to Die Hard’
1 June 2012 6:30 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
I doubt it would be a true Anchorman sequel without Veronica Corningstone, the love of Ron Burgundy’s life, but some comments from Adam McKay and, more noticeably, two teasers made Christina Applegate‘s return something of a question mark and concern. I mean, honestly: How do you follow-up a perfectly-balanced comedy without one of its main players in tow?
So, it’s a relief that Celebuzz (via Collider) have confirmed Applegate‘s involvement in Anchorman 2, the extent of which I can only assume is about equal to the male members of this cast — especially if McKay‘s small plot hints actually play out onscreen. With her, Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, David Koechner, and Paul Rudd all locked in once again, Anchorman 2 is off to a running start.
Moving from a sequel I have high hopes for to one that couldn’t interest me less, Variety reports that »

‘Three Mississippi’ Swaps Mark Wahlberg For Adam Sandler As Trade Deadline Looms
31 May 2012 3:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Once upon a time, Adam McKay’s upcoming football comedy Three Mississippi was going to be a glorious re-teaming of not only Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell’s dueling idiots act from The Other Guys, but also a re-teaming of Wahlberg and Alex Baldwin’s meathead chemistry from The Departed. But now Mark Wahlberg is dropping out of the movie, and heck, it isn’t even an Adam McKay comedy anymore. Just when things were looking so promising too. What happened? It’s a sad tale of other movies taking priority. With Peter Berg’s Battleship sinking at the box office, Universal got cold feet when it came to financing his next movie, Lone Survivor, which is about a Navy Seal on a doomed mission. Without Universal fronting the bill, Berg needed a big name attached to the project in order to procure some new financing, and he got that in the form of Mark Wahlberg. As »

Adam Sandler Replaces Mark Wahlberg in Three Mississippi
31 May 2012 10:34 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Adam Sandler is in talks to replace Mark Wahlberg in the Warner Bros. football comedy Three Mississippi.
We first reported on the project last May, which centers on two rival families who play a tackle football game every Thanksgiving Day. The comedy was originally set to reunite The Other Guys director Adam McKay with stars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. However, we reported in February that Mark Wahlberg will star in Lone Survivor, and his commitment to that Navy SEALs thriller lead to his departure on Three Mississippi.
Adam McKay was also forced to drop out after Paramount resurrected the comedy sequel Anchorman: The Legend Continues in March. We reported in April that Sean Anders will direct from a screenplay by John Morris, Scott Silveri, and Robert Carlock. Sean Anders also recently directed That's My Boy, which stars Adam Sandler.
Production will likely begin this fall, before Will Ferrell »

Adam Sandler Replacing Mark Wahlberg in 'Three Mississippi' Comedy
31 May 2012 9:05 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Last month we heard that Adam McKay finally being able to get Anchorman: The Legend Continues off the ground meant that he would no longer be directing the football comedy Three Mississippi starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg in the story of a feud between two families over an annual Thanksgiving touch football game that has existed for 50 years. McKay has been replaced by That's My Boy director Sean Anders (also rewriting the film with co-director John Morris), and they're bringing Adam Sandler with him who Vulture says will replace Wahlberg on the comedy due to a couple reasons that came up recently. Back in February we heard about Wahlberg being involved in Peter Berg's next film Lone Survivor that's based on the memoir of Marcus Luttrell about how the Navy Seal becomes the lone survivor after an ambush in Afghanistan. Initially Universal was financing and distributing the film, »

Adam Sandler May Co-Star With Will Ferrell In Three Mississippi
31 May 2012 8:18 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
There's been some major change-ups to Will Ferrell's upcoming sports-comedy Three Mississippi, which have forced the producers to scramble for a new director as well as new co-star for the Anchorman funnyman. Last year Ferrell's good friend and frequent collaborator Adam McKaywas lined up to helm, but with the unlikely revival of Anchorman 2, he has since been sidelined to prepare a sequel no one truly expected to come to pass. Warner Bros has since signed Sean Anders, who is helmed the upcoming Adam Sandler vehicle That's My Boy, and Vulture reports Sandler himself is in talks to be Ferrell's onscreen rival, a role that was initially conceived for Ferrell's The Other Guys co-star Mark Wahlberg. Unfortunately, Wahlberg has had to bail on Three Mississippi due to scheduling conflicts that arose because of Battleship. 'What?,' you're probably wonder, 'How does that follow?' Bear with me; this is tricky. »
