Adam McKay says that the aborted sequel to Anchorman was going to be better than you imagined.

"It was a musical," he told me in a one on one interview. "We were going to do four months on Broadway and then jump right into filming."

"You should still do the Broadway run," I told him, being a fanboy.

"We tried," McKay said. "But it's too hard on the actors. And there's no money for them."
No Money for Them

The project fell through like a month or two ago because their projected budget was too high. And it makes me sad, since Anchorman is one of the funniest/most quotable movies I've ever seen. And the idea of seeing Ferrell, Rudd, and Carell all on stage together makes me smile. But since it won't happen, all I have to say is:

I'M COMPLETELY MISERABLE, SAN DIEGO!
