Zoolander might just be my favourite Ben Stiller comedy. That film was just filled with such deliciously silly scenarios and dialogue that has me smiling just thinking of it. Even thinking of the very tragic freak gasoline fight accident has me laughing.
Paramount and Stiller are teaming up for a PG-13 Zoolander 2. And as much as I’ve expressed my trepidation in 2006 and 2008, they’ve gone and grabbed the one man who will make me see it. The Evil DJ — otherwise known as Justin Theroux — will write and direct the sequel.
Stiller’s wife and oft co-star Christine Taylor is easy on the eyes, and likely the movie will pick up with Zoolander getting the itch to model again and putting aside his duties at the Derek Zoolander Center For Children Who Can’t Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too, perhaps reteaming up with Hansel (He’s so hot right now), but Owen Wilson hasn’t signed on to the deal… yet. Come on, you know he will!
And while I couldn’t think ANYTHING could rain and that really really rediculously good looking parade of comedy gold, they announce that Jonah Hill is in negotiations to play the badguy replacing the dethroned Mugatu as the leader of the fashion world.
Hill is just negotiating, so lets hope his plate gets full and he has to pass on this one. But then maybe he will do it and surprise the crap out of me with some over the top character like Zoolander delivers… aww who am I kidding. He will be the same Attention Deficit dork he is in everything else.
