Anchorman: The Legend Continues director Adam McKay has revealed that there will be a second version of the sequel which features entirely different jokes.

Such is the level of improvisation in the film that he has enough material to work with for a whole seperate film, in which only the main plot points will be the same.

Asked by IGN if an alternate version is in the works, he replied: ‘It definitely will, we’re editing it right now and we have a version of the movie where every single joke is replaced with a new joke.

‘So the only stuff the same is the physical movie – so you’ll still see the Winnebago crash, you ‘ll still see the shark, but anytime someone speaks a joke it’ll be a new joke in this version.’




The first Anchorman film also had de facto sequel made from surplus gags called Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie, though it was not of this scale.

The sequel to the sequel is in-line with what McKay also talks about in the interview (above) concerning the free-flowing nature of the film and how the plot doesn’t really matter.
