Zoolander 2 is one of those films where every fan wants to see it, but the studios are very reluctant to give the go ahead on. We have seen this with other rumored sequels like Old School 2 and an Anchorman sequel. Both are in high demand but the studios are saying NO!
So what does Zoolander 2 have that the others don’t? Well for starters, the returning cast members don’t have scheduling conflicts and there are really only 3, maybe 4, people that need to be back for the film (Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor). Also, and here’s the big one, Ben Stiller and Justin Theroux have a completed script for the film. So Come on Paramount, what are you waiting for?!?!?!
Until the big wigs decide on when to begin the highly anticipated sequel, lets learn a little bit about the sequel and what we do know about it. The film will mostly be set in Europe and will take place ten years after Zoolander revealed his Blue Steel look. Also, both Zoolander and his BFF Hansel (Owen Wilson) will no longer be relevant anymore in the modeling world, one because of age and also (Mild Spoiler) Hansel will be suffering from a “disfiguring injury”. What the injury is, is still a mystery, but one can only imagine it will probably be something ridiculous.
MTV was able to get Wilson to speak more about the topic while promoting his new film, The Big Year. You can watch the interview HERE.
Here is the last update Stiller gave about the project and who could be back in the sequel:
Where it’s at is we’ve completed the script, Justin Theroux and I, and handed it into the studio. Now the studio has the script and we’re at that point where we’re waiting to see what they want to do. It’s ten years later and most of it is set in Europe. I don’t want to give away too much, but it’s basically Derek and Hansel ten years later – though the last movie ended on a happy note a lot of things have happened in the meantime. Their lives have changed and they’re not really relevant anymore. It’s a new world for them. Will Ferrell is written into the script and he’s expressed interest in doing it. I think Mugatu is an integral part of the Zoolander story, so yes, he features in a big way.
It’s also been rumored that Jonah Hill will be in the film as one of the up and coming models.
