Sequel will Blue Steel audiences February 12, 2016.
By Brandon Wolfe
Rumored for many, many years, the sequel to 2001’s sleeper hit Zoolander is finally ready to be ridiculously good-looking in front of the cameras. Original stars Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson made a surprise appearance today at the Valentino show as part of Paris Fashion Week, closing out the Fall/Winter 2015 Women’s Collection show as their characters, models Derek Zoolander and Hansel. The pair’s walk-off, which may or may not have been filmed, Borat-style, as part of the actual film itself, coincided with the reveal that the sequel will be in theaters February 12th of next year.
The script for the sequel, written by Justin Theroux, has been ready to go for some time, but has been held up as funding on such a belated sequel has been a studio concern (an obstacle also once faced by Anchorman 2). It has been rumored that Will Ferrell’s Mugatu will resurface in the sequel, which will pick up a decade after the original, when the once-thriving fashion dimwits are no longer “so hot right now.” Penelope Cruz will also appear in the film.
