While we wait for Paramount to get their head out of their ass and green light “Anchorman 2” already, the rest of the cast are focusing on other projects for now to ensure that the Judd Apatow comedy train keeps on going — with or without Ron Burgundy.
Speaking with MTV on the red carpet at Time 100 (there is seriously a red carpet thing for this?), Apatow revealed, “I’m producing a movie that Paul Rudd’s in that’s shooting in the fall which David Wain wrote with Ken Marino, and they’re going to announce that soon.” Of course we’ll have to wait until this thing is officially announced for details, but more Rudd via Wain and Marino? Awesome.
The Rudd, Wain and Marino triumvirate most recently knocked out the underrated “Role Models” (seriously, the replay value on this one is surprisingly good) and Rudd and Marino currently have the catering world comedy “Party Down” on Starz, which is being criminally ignored. Seriously, if you haven’t watched do yourself a favor and pick it up. This writer thinks it’s miles above the overrated “Eastbound & Down.”
Again, no word yet on when this will hit theaters until an official announcement is made, but with a fall shoot a 2011 release is pretty much guaranteed.
