August 28, 2009 11:08:02

Nothing has been set in stone just yet for "Anchorman 2", opening many possibilities for the storylines. While "Anchorman" actor Paul Rudd previously suggested that the sequel may be set in outer space, producer Judd Apatow has proposed a different idea for potential plot by teasing on old-aged crew to Empire.

"When we made Anchorman, [director] Adam [McKay] and Will [Ferrell] had a lot of ideas about what the sequel would be - they'd always laugh about where they'd take the characters," Apatow recalled. "The great thing is, Will can be any age and play that character. Those anchormen sometimes have their jobs until they're 75 years old. So we would always laugh that this movie could work if everybody's really elderly."

The sequel to "Anchorman" has been planned and it is now indicated that the news casting comedy may be brought to somewhere far from Earth. Opening up about where and when the possible follow-up movie possibly takes place, Paul Rudd suggests that "Anchorman 2" will perhaps be set in outer space.

To MTV News, he explained, "I know when we were shooting it [director] Adam [McKay] said if they ever did something it would have to be really weird like we were on the moon or something. I think it has to go even further if it was to work." He also assured that the sequel is in development saying, "Last I heard they were starting to write it and they were thinking about setting it in the eighties."

Answering to the sequel buzz sparked earlier by "Anchorman" producer Judd Apatow, Adam McKay, the director/scribbler of the comedy movie, added more fuel to the already burning speculation. In a press junket for "The Foot Fish Way" on May 4, the former writer for "Saturday Night Live" let out his sequel plan on the movie about the San Diego's top-rated anchorman in the '70s.

Ensuring that "Anchorman 2" will certainly be brought to the big screen, McKay confessed to Collinder.com on when he may bring the project forth. "...Will and I are like let's do Anchorman...so you're talking like 2 years maybe we'll do it. But we're going to do it, for sure," insisted the man behind "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby". He then revealed that the potential draw back of the sequel is the possibly of not be able to bring back of the original cast stating, "We're dying to do it. Unless we can't get the cast together, which is always kind of a tricky thing. But, I think, with that cast we're all friends, so yeah, we want to do it."

besides ferrell (hate him), this cast is absolutely friggin' unbelievable! it just goes ON AND ON! ACTUALLY REALLY FUNNY. this, stranger than fiction, and semi pro in my opinion are ferrell's only good movies. step brothers was horrible. starsky and hutch was funny, but that doesn't really count as a 'ferrell' movie. this was great!
