Ben Stiller Confirms Zoolander Sequel Details
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Satire, Sequels, Comedy, Casting, Celeb News, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
Ben Stiller has confirmed Zoolander 2 will be set 10 years after the original film and in Europe.
The 45-year-old actor, who starred as male model Derek Zoolander in the 2001 comedy movie about a group of fashionistas taking on an evil businessman, reveals the script has been completed for the sequel and "a lot has happened" since the first film, with Derek and Owen Wilson's character Hansel no longer relevant on the fashion scene.
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."

Owen Wilson Talks Zoolander 2
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Sequels, Comedy, Upcoming Releases, Videos,
Owen Wilson is ready to reprise his role as Hansel in Zoolander 2, and he says that fans will get to see plenty of “Hansel swagger.”
Wilson starred opposite Ben Stiller in the first Zoolander, but now the enemies-turned-friends may have new competition: Lady Gaga. Wilson hinted that the pop diva could make an appearance in the film, and that “maybe she makes a good foil for Hansel.”
We’ve got reason to believe Lady Gaga is a bit of a comedienne. Just look at her outfits.

Zoolander Sequel Script Finished
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Sequels, Comedy, Casting, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Despite some delays, reports say that the script for the Zoolander sequel has been completed. The plot focuses on Derek Zoolander and Hansel (played by Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, respectively) on the brink of turning 40, and their top modeling days behind them.
Will Ferrell will also reprise his role (yes!) as evil designer Mugatu, who tried to use Zoolander in his evil assassination plot in the first film. Actor Jonah Hill has also been given a role, and we’re delighted with the development. Ferrell, Stiller, Wilson and Hill in the same flick? It just doesn’t get funnier than that.
Zoolander 2 should be in theaters in 2012. The real trick is figuring out how to wait that long!

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.
