To Sequel or Not to Sequel: Comedies Out, Action In
Derek Zoolander and Ron Burgundy won’t be re-appearing on the silver screen, but action flicks G.I. Joe and Avatar have been given the go-ahead to create sequels. We’re seriously screwed as moviegoers when Will Ferrell and Ben Stiller have trouble making films happen.
Paramount has now axed Zoolander 2, a follow-up to Stiller’s hilarious comedy about male modeling, as well as Ferrell’s Anchorman 2, which would have revisited one of his best characters. According to a recent Twitter from Stiller: “Ron Burgundy and Derek Zoolander looking to appear in sequels. Both men destitute, without means or intellect to fund their own comebacks.”
Meanwhile, the second G.I. Joe movie is expected to hit theaters as early as 2012. Paramount hasn’t committed to a script or anything else on the project, but rumor states the company is fully behind the planned sequel.

Sequel News: Hairspray, Anchorman, School of Rock

Here’s the latest scoop on the sequel buzz spreading across Hollywood:
The film that inspired a Broadway show and an update may soon spawn another creation: a sequel. New Line Cinema, obviously encouraged by the success of the High School Musical franchise (and last week’s debut of Mamma Mia!), has asked John Waters to begin writing a treatment for a follow to Hairspray.
According to Variety, the studio hopes to reunite members of last year’s cast in time for a 2010 release. The story would again be set in the 60’s, just where the Turnblad family left off.
While no actors have yet been lined up, most of the musical’s key players - including director/choreography Adam Shankman - are scheduled to return.
