14 DAY TRIAL // Harrison Ford has just been confirmed for a role on the highly anticipated “Anchorman 2,” which is now shooting but whose plot is being kept under wraps.
The Hollywood Reporter has the official confirmation.
“Ford will play a legendary newscaster a la Tom Brokaw in the Adam McKay-helmed comedy, which begins shooting this month in Atlanta. He previously played an anchorman in the film Morning Glory, the 2010 comedy produced by J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk,” THR says.
“Anchorman: The Legend Continues” is the sequel to 2004’s critically and commercially successful “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” and stars Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, Christina Applegate, David Koechner and Kristen Wiig.
Directed by Adam McKay, the film will be out in December and is one of the most anticipated releases of the year. With Ford on board, hype for it has just reached unprecedented levels.
