Money Gap Gab


Deadline is shedding light on why the the comedy sequels Anchorman 2 and Zoolander 2 were both scrapped by Paramount Pictures

It seems there's a budget gap of about $30 million bucks.

"Paramount insiders said that the studio is eager to make both sequels, but only if each costs around $40 million," says Deadline "But the Anchorman 2 filmmakers, for example, want something closer to $70 million to make their film"

The studio won't green light the flick for anything over $40 million due to the dismal international box-office ($5 million) for the first Anchorman film.

And I maintain that Will Ferrell is over paid for what he does anyway Hello Land of the Lost
