Could Anchorman 3 be filmed in Ireland?
Having received the mother and father of all Irish welcomes back in 2013, Steve Carell and the rest of the cast want to shoot Anchorman 3 in Ireland.
Carell says it all comes down to the reception he, Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd and David Koechner received when they came over to promote Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.
“After my experience in Dublin at the premiere, yes, I could see that happening,” Carell told RTÉ.
“I could see us shooting Anchorman in Ireland. We were so embraced when we were there for the premiere.
“[It was] an unforgettable day.”
Kristen Wiig, Carell’s love interest in Anchorman 2, joked, “We would get no work done,” with Carell responding, “It would be fine to get no work done. I loved it.”
Will Ferrell recently said he’d consider playing Ron Burgundy for a third time, but doesn’t expect it to happen any time soon.
The actor told Entertainment Weekly: “Never say never. At the same time, that’s what’s really fun about those characters — it could be 10 years from now and we can still play those guys and just be older – and even dumber.
“So that’s the beauty of that. There are no imminent plans to return to that as of yet, because … I can’t speak for Adam [McKay], but for myself, we still have a lot of other original ideas that we’d like to do.”
