If you watched the Golden Globes, you'll know that Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig make a ridiculously good comedy team. Their delivery of the award for Best Actress was some of the best improv we've seen in years.
Which makes it all the more exciting that the duo will be paired up on the big screen for the sequel to "Anchorman."
The announcement came yesterday from the film's director, Adam McKay, via Twitter:
Just found out Kristen Wiig officially on board for Anchorman 2. Cannonball!
— Adam McKay (@GhostPanther) February 5, 2013
The film is titled "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues," and according to MTV News, Wiig is rumored to be playing the love interest of Steve Carrell's mentally challenged weatherman, Brick Tamland.
A teaser has already been released for the movie, and was uploaded to YouTube back in May of last year:
