Photos: Ron Burgundy Will Fight A Shark In 'Anchorman: The Legend Continues'
Will Ferrell has been busy doing what he does best -- resurrecting Ron Burgundy for "Anchorman: The Legend Continues" -- and as part of that effort, pictures have emerged of the famed San Diego newsman wrestling a mechanical shark.
The photos were taken last week and appeared online today. Ferrell was filming off the coast of Georgia and appeared, for all intents and purposes, to be winning the battle against the beast.
The movie is set to be released at the end of this year and will co-star Kristen Wiig. "Anchorman: The Legend Continues" will also reunite the Channel 4 News Team: Brian (Paul Rudd), Brick (Steve Carrell) and Champ (David Koechner).
Here's a look at the official trailer:
