Hmm, I’m told it’s a multtalented actor-writer-director-producer angry at the studio. @ParamountFilms was set up two weeks ago:
Not since we released Breakfast At Tiffany’s has Paramount been prouder to bring yellow face 2 cinemas with our fantastic The Last Airbender
Opening July 2 is a movie we @ Paramount are very proud of, The Last Airbender. See white kids pretending to be Asian in glorious fake 3-D!
Get use to these. If we at Paramount get our way, this is the only way you’ll be able to see movies in theaters http://twitpic.com/1o4fob
We @ Paramount Are proud 2 say that we’re sitting on loads of cash thanks to Iron Man 2. None of that cash will be going to make Anchorman 2
We have decided that if Will and Adam pay for Anchorman 2 out of their own pocket, we’ll release it. The ball is in your court @ghostpanther
We at Paramount are proud to announce that every film we release from now on will be in 3D! Why? To get more money from you dummies.
We @ Paramount are proud to announce that we have just green lit a reboot of 48 Hours starring @bowwow & @ZachEfron directed by Brett Ratner
We at Paramount are proud to announce that we just signed Mike Meyers to write and star in the sequel to his comedy classic The Love Guru!
Instead of funding Anchorman 2 we are doing a reboot of Hot Rod starring @danecook to be written & directed @andydick for release next year!
To all who are upset about about us not green lighting Anchorman 2, we at Paramount say screw you! We have more reboots to fund instead!!

All too true, but reboot fever hasn’t just taken hold at Paramount – all the studios are stricken with it. Every single civilian I talk to bemoans Hollywood’s lack of originality. Most people I know don’t even bother going to theaters any more. Got to stop cannibalizing and start originating.
I guess the obvious choice is Will Ferrell or his production partner…but everyone should be pissed off too. Anchorman was hilarious…people who didn’t see it in the theater certainly saw it on DVD & cable and we all would have gone in droves to the sequel. It’s just the kind of movie that every male between 12 & 50 would have gone to. As a movie nerd, my friends and I did nothing but quote that movie in the summer and fall of ’04…wake the fuck up, pay what you have to pay and green light the damn movie!!
In case you’re reading this, I love you Will Ferrell…in both totally gay and straight ways.
Well said and well deserved. Disgruntled writer / producer: keep on keepin on. These guys at Paramount can’t figure out much except how to find bimbps for Sumner to bumb uglies with. The execs they hire are a joke. They’d be better off giving Bob Evans the top job again…At least he has worked in features.
Maybe I’d give a crap if I actually wanted to see an Anchorman 2. Why all this bitching just because the world may or may not miss out on yet another freakin’ sequel?

oh yeah, because Anchorman was such a gem.
I’d rather catch a Zac Efron flick than a Will Ferrell one any day.
Awesome. Finally someone addresses the plague that’s sweeping through Hollywood. No more original stories. Either everything is a pre-existing property or a shot-for-shot remake a la Nightmare on Elm Street. Not that I’m rooting for Anchorman 2 as that definitely falls into that category, but why not start spending money on something original? I’ll even accept 3D as long as it’s original 3D! Kudos to the twitter poster!
oh yyou silly funny or die folks you…
Love it. Who’s doing the reboot of The Untouchables?
I hope it’s Taylor Lautner as Ness and Zach Efron as Capone. He could be blond…
It’s the ghost of Adolph Zucker

Paramounts release stable 2010
Saw Shutter Island loved this great horror pic
Iron Man 2 –fell asleep
Shrek, Ent Weekly had the release date for May 14 pushed forward. We shall see
The last Airbender commercial looked sweet, but hey If I’m Korean or Chinese I might look really white and act like a real white person, so I don’t see @paramount’s quip. After all Ming Na cannot be in every other movie as the only “ Asian star” Everyone else is an import as if Asians don’t have a film festival in SF, LA, NY, Toronto etc. I mean isn’t Hollywood remaking those Chinese detective stories and the Green Hornet. Bruce Lee would be proud of Hollywood ( satire)
Don’t out him Nicky let him kick their ass for a few months.
so i’ll be the first to make a blanket statement.
they are all dummies… and you cannot deny that there is merit to this tweet.
Adam McKay, then.
I think it is probably Justin Theroux.
they’re not really doing a ‘reboot’ of 48 hrs. with Zach Ef-fuck…..are they??
A) Adam McKay
B) Will Ferrell
c) Paul Rudd
D) Steve Carell
E) Judd Apatow
F) All of the Above
Personally, I wouldn’t put it past the ghost of that Most Honorable Gentlemen– Bernie Brillstein– to suddenly appear in Brad Grey’s boudoir one night… For the sole purpose of slapping some sense into his one-time protege.
All of the above are way too funny to have posted these. Did you honestly laugh when you read these? That’s impossible. This is a non story.
Don’t see why Carell would be throwing a co-star like Dane Cook under the bus like this. Will Ferrell probably wouldn’t slag on a fellow SNL alum like Mike Myers. Also, Andy Dick is friends with some of the “Frat Pack” crew, appearing in movies like Old School and Knocked Up. I’m thinking this is someone else in some misguided attention whoring. They’re not wise enough to realize that if you want to bring people to your cause, don’t bring in the names of people who did nothing to you(and in fact are friendly with those you’re trying to help) and insult them unprovoked.
Well Will when you keep making movies for you and your friends and say They can join us or not then expect for studio to be leery. The best movies I think you have been involved in is the ones with little fanfare. I loved step brothers and the goods. One I caught at the drive inn the other late at night. With each there was a build to craziness.
Reboot and/or sequel sound the same to me how about an original never been done before? Unless Anchorman 2 is with a gray haired crippled with lung cancer anchors and loads of hot new people its just another tired old sequel being shoved down our throats!
The questions we should to ask is do the people who make movies see and pay for the movies( at the box office) or is everyone going to the premiere and then clamoring( promoting the hell out of some of this shit) but never paying to see it themselves? If my movie came out I’d be the first one buying the most tickets. Stop hawking the crap( unless you pay for it yourselves) and go to the movies and stop getting your studio and free copies sent to your homes!! Go to the movies people ’cause Hollywood needs the bucks!!!
I’m waiting for the Das Boot reboot.
…followed by The Tin Drum.
We @ Anchorman 2 are proud to present inherently funny 70s sideburns — yes funny in and of themselves.
And rambling improv shamelessly disguised as comic invention.
And ramshackle plotting that’s not disguised as anything at all. (It’s ramshackle, bro – that’s the point!)
And indulgent man-child giggling that wears thin very quickly unless you’ve qualified for medical marijuana.
I sincerely doubt it’s a “multi-talented actor-writer-director-producer” because then it would at least be funny.
Excellent…Hope the boy or girl keeps it up, but with excruciating details of behind the scenes antidotes Redstone’s Playhouse. So for all the Paramount employees feed the beast.
Brilliant. Genius. Awesome. Incredible.
Thank you.
Sour grapes.
wow, that’s… lame
i mean, i share what s/he is saying, too much fake 3D, too much pointless remake, too little support for somewhat original projects… but it just comes out as just unfunny and bitter, much closer to some AICN fanboy commenter than, say, Fake Steve Jobs
a rare miss, fake twitter accounts. A rare miss
I was pretty sure that Brett Ratner and Joe CarnahaM are actually the same person and now a studio insider at Fox has confirmed it!
