In the new trailer for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, the sequel to 2004’s Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, we see that the famous San Diego news team led by Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) goes to New York City in the era of 24-hour news. The change in setting offers some promise that the new film will come up with some new laughs.
The trailer reveals that key characters Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), Champ Kind (David Koechner) and Brick Tamland (Steve Carell) return to the screen with Burgundy. Slate, which critiques the trailer, notes that reported cameos in the film include Kanye West, Tina Fey, Harrison Ford, Will Smith, and Nicole Kidman. Such an esteemed group ensures the movie will stay classy.
