Last week we reported an Anchorman-themed bar would pop up over two weeks in Carlton.

Unfortunately the event has been shut down before it even started. Paramount Pictures, the film studio behind the 2004 film, contacted event organisers late last week regarding breach of copyright.

Chris Amon of Bottoms Up Bartenders says Paramount wanted to charge “a hefty fee” for the rights to use the Anchorman branding, which made the event “unfeasible”.
