christina2 Sep 14 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Paramount Studios may be making a follow-up movie to Anchorman which released six years ago and featured Will Ferrell and Christina Applegate.

There were no plans to shoot a sequel of the movie after a decision was made to that effect in April, but Paramount Studios boss Adam Goodman may have a change of heart, now that the public is openly yearning for it

Adam McKay who directed the movie stated that the public’s open vouching for the movie’s follow-up was not in vain, as Paramount Studios have been touched by the pleas. He stated that Adam Goodman is a huge fan of the movie and he was surely happy that people were yearning for a part 2.

Director Adam McKay said that, “It made a difference. Paramount heard it. Adam Goodman, the president of Paramount, was on the first one so he loves it and when that outcry came, he was kind of excited because he knew it could maybe push it towards happening.”

He however said nothing had been decided yet and he had no idea how long it will take for the movie to be reproduced, i.e. if the sequel will even come on.

McKay had stated previously that the movie’s cast was prepared to accept lower salaries in order to remake the movie. The original Anchorman generated $90 million in sales across the world.
