STORY: Kristen Wiig Joins 'Anchorman' Sequel
The sequel to 2004's Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy stars returnees Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, Christina Applegate and David Koechner, as well as a new-to-the-property Kristen Wiig.
Ferrell and McKay wrote the screenplay and are producing the film. Judd Apatow and Kevin Messick also are aboard as producers.
Though plot details on Anchorman 2 are being kept under wraps, the level of secrecy pales compared to the new Star Wars films, for which Ford is expected to reprise his role of Han Solo in some capacity.

Love that guy as an actor but what's with the scarf and the earring?

I've got a bad feeling about these new SW flicks....

Never saw Anchorman 1 so I will probably sit this one out.

Anybody see him in Morning Glory? I can't think if I've ever seen him in a comedy
