Director confirms 'Anchorman' sequel

A sequel to 2004 comedy Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is in the works.

Writer/director Adam McKay said he and star Will Ferrell plan to make a follow-up in the next few years.

He told Collider.com: "I'm looking to do another movie, I might do this other movie called Channel 3 Billion, which is kind of this science fiction/Brazil type comedy.

"Then after that, Will and I are like 'let's do Anchorman 2'... so you're talking like two years, maybe we'll do it. But we're going to do it for sure."

The pair also worked together on 2006 comedy Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
