With all the buzz around Will Ferrell’s Semi-Pro lately everyone seems to be wondering if he will visit sequels of his previous hits. Just after the Anchorman 2 rumours die down, the mill starts with the talk of Zoolander 2.
One of the biggest nagging questions we wanted answered was the status of that long-rumored sequel to Ben Stiller’s ode-to-male-modeling, “Zoolander.”
“Yeah, there was a little talk,” Ferrell admitted. “I brought it up to Ben really five years after the fact. Just for whatever reasons, it’s just not crystallizing.”
See, when actors say things like “its not crystallizing” all I hear is “If they offer me a lot of money, sure I will do it, but lets act nonchallant about it so I can create some buzz and hope it really happens.”
One thing I actually DO like about Will Ferrell is that he doesnt DO sequels to his Saturday Night Live type movies. I have about enough of his characters in one sitting and I am starting to get tired of him already. He plays such diversely different characters, but he is still Will Ferrell. They are all the same… but they are not.
I went through this phase with Jim Carrey. Also with Jack Black. In their prime I couldnt get enough of these guys. But as time went on and they released movie after movie with the same shtick, and despite loving their comedy I had enough.
Now I can occassionally go back and watch their movies and get a laugh, but not until after I have detoxed myself of their giggly poisons.
I might not sound like a Will Ferrell fan when I say this, but I hope he doesn’t do a sequel to ANY of his movies. They are fine on their own. Leave it be.
