Blah blah blah “Date Night” — MTV knows that we’re all waiting for Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, David Koechner and Steve Carell to get together again and start working on “Anchorman 2” and at a recent press junket for “Date Night” they pressed Carell for anything he might have to say on the project.
It turns out, it might be happening sooner than we think (at least we hope so). “I spoke to Will about ‘Anchorman 2’ about two weeks ago. We would all want to do another one,” he said. But while all might be keen, Carell adds, “I don’t think they’ve [even] decided on a story line yet.” That being said, finding a way to reunite the Channel 4 gang shouldn’t be too hard.
Carell also revealed that a sequel “Get Smart” is also in development, but is seeking a studio saying, “There’s a script written for ‘Get Smart 2’ that may or may not be made at some point. I think it turned out well. I think the script is good. It’s just a matter of whether [the studio is] going to pull the trigger on it.” While we didn’t particularly care for “Get Smart” the franchise practically plays to Carell’s strengths as a comedian so perhaps they’ll get it right the second time around.
“Date Night” opens this weekend. I love lamp.
