Comedian Will Ferrell is close to sealing a deal to revive his on-screen anchorman Ron Burgundy in a sequel to his hit 2004 film, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.

“The odds are good. We’re going to talk to all the guys next week – Steve Carrell, Paul Rudd and everybody else – to see if it’s feasible to do it, because everybody’s at different places right now, with totally different schedules,” Will says.

“Hopefully we can start filming in a couple of years.”
