Yes you read that right! Just a few months after being released on theaters, "Anchorman 2" is being released again!
Every comedy fan loves Will Ferrell's funny newscaster, Ron Burgundy so "Anchorman" fans should rejoice as "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" is returning to theaters with an R-rated version featuring 763 brand new jokes with run time of over two hours!
Will Ferrell spoke about it on The Tonight Show. It'll open against "Son of God" which itself is an edited/recut version of The History Channel's "The Bible". The new version required resubmitting the film to the ratings board.
"When my editor told me we had a whole different version of the movie that was more than two hours long with nearly 800 new jokes, I was shocked," said writer-director Adam McKay in a statement. "But when Paramount said they were actually going to put it in theaters, I did an 1950's spit take. If you're a hardcore Anchorman fan go see this. If you're not, stay very far away."
According to the report of The New York Times, the "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" Extended R-Rated edition would be much longer than the original, which was 1 hour, 59 minutes.
"Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" was released last December 2014 and has grossed more than $170 million worldwide. It reunited the cast from the 2004 original film "Anchorman" which starred Christina Applegate, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd and David Koechner.
The "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" Extended R-Rated edition hits theaters on February 28, 2014!
