While it’s still left to the rumour mill to discuss the possibility of Harrison Ford once again becoming Han Solo and boarding the Millennium Falcon when the new Star Wars movies eventually roll out, one thing is for certain; Harrison Ford has officially joined Anchorman 2.
Officially titled Anchorman: The Legend Continues, the sequel to the cult comedy hit has once again been written by returning director Adam McKay and Will Ferrell; who’ll be reprising his role as the titular news anchor Ron Burgundy, and traveling from San Diego to New York with his entourage as cable news becomes big… well, news.
Ford is set to star as another legendary newscaster, and will be butting heads will Ferrell in the film which will co-star Steve Carrell, Paul Rudd, David Koechner and Christina Applegate, as well as Kristen Wiig, Dylan Baker, Meagan Good, James Marsden, and (if the rumours are to be believed) Wreck It Ralph’s John C Reilly.
Anchorman: The Legend Continues starts filming this week, and is due to be released on December 20th in both the US and UK.
