Ferrell desperate to make 'Anchorman 2'

Will Ferrell has insisted he “would die” to make an Anchorman sequel.

'The Other Guys' actor said he and the rest of the original cast want to film 'Anchorman 2' – but Paramount Pictures have yet to agree to another movie.

“We would die to make one but we can’t unless they agree to it – they own the rights,” he said.

“We can only hope that Paramount Pictures will change their minds.”

But writer and director Adam McKay promised fans there would definitely be a follow-up, though it may be on stage rather than he big screen.

He said: “I promise it will get done, either as a film or on stage.”
