Harrison Ford Joins the Cast of Anchorman: The Legend Continues


Rumours have been circulating for quite some time that Harrison Ford would be joining the cast of Anchorman: The Legend Continues and early last week, photos of the veteran actor on set with Will Ferrell began to surface. I guess it's safe to say that Ford will be involved in the upcoming sequel to the 2004 hit comedy.

Looks like Ford is slated to play a veteran news anchor similar to Tom Brokaw in this 70s era film.

Little is being shared about the film, that is set to be released in December of this year. What we do know is as followings:
  • the original cast including Ferrell, Steve Carrell, Paul Rudd, Christina Applegate, and David Koechner are all returning
  • new cast members include: Kristen Wiig and Meagan Good
  • the film will take place in New York instead of San Diego
  • Wiig will be portraying Carrell's love interest
  • Ferrell will once again create the script with McKay
  • laughter is almost guaranteed
If Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy has taught us anything, it's that Adam McKay knows how to utilize cameo appearances by some great actors who can some times steal the show.

Remember this epic battle from the original film?

Harrison Ford was pretty good as a grumpy anchorman turned morning show host in "Morning Glory". I hope he can reprise a similar role here because he's not really known for his Ferrell-style comedy. I think he's got the more wry-straight-faced comedy style. Could be an interesting contrast to the Anchorman himself.
