Kristen Wiig is On Board for 'Anchorman 2'

Examiner.com has recently released an official statement that Bridesmaids star, Kristen Wigg, is joining Will Ferrell for Anchorman 2. The film's director, Adam McKay, who also directed Will Ferrell in Step Brothers and The Other Guys, tweeted this piece of news on February 5th. Kristen Wiig is a Saturday Night Live alum and she made a big name for herself with her critically-acclaimed comedy Bridesmaids. Wiig will supposedly be playing of wife of returning character Brick Tamland, who is played by Steve Carrell. Anchorman: The Legend Continues is a sequel to the massively successful 2004 film Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy. It will feature all of the returning cast which includes Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Christina Applegate, David Koechner, and Steve Carrell. It is slated for release in December of 2013

Anybody who knows me knows that my favourite comedy of ALL TIME is Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy. I thought the writing was absolutely genius, the cast was stacked with A-listers, and there is not a single second of dullness throughout the entire hour and forty-five minute movie. The sequel to this movie is one of my most anticipated sequels for 2013 and the fact that Kristen Wiig is now going to be in it, that just makes me much more excited to see it. I'm personally a big fan of Kristen Wiig. I really enjoyed her in Bridesmaids and I actually find her to be the female version of Steve Carrell when it comes to comedy. I am personally very surprised Adam McKay was able to get all of the original cast back together because many of them are now huge movie stars compared to what they were in 2004. Regardless, I am very happy he has been able to do so and I am just counting down the days until its release in December.
