Zoolander 2 Just Isn’t Happening

Sorry to piss on your parade, but I’ve always said it’s better to be pissed off about something than pissed on because Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller can’t act their way out of a velvet haute couture bag.

Actually, I’m a big fan of both Wilson and Stiller, but I thought Zoolander was complete crap. All of that stupid “blue steel” business and kissy-facing … It was just brutal. And while I didn’t even think that the original would do as well as say, a sequel, it was evidently on the menu to be served up like the steaming pile of shit that it probably would have been anyway.

Ben Stiller has come forth on his Twitter, all but nixing the entire idea of a sequel:

Ron Burgundy and Derek Zoolander looking to appear in sequels. Both men destitute, without means or intellect to fund their own comebacks.

It’s alright, Ben. You’re still married to the super-hot Christine Taylor. And Owen … well, hell. You’ll always have Wedding Crashers and Vince Vaughn.

  • Haha, Sarah, I totally agree with you. The first Zoolander was bad enough. I never really “got it.” Actually, I “got it,” just didn’t find it in any way funny.

  • hello!! it was a great movie!! how about when he trhows the little “zoolander center for kids who cant read….good” and he says “a center for ants!!!” I totally wet my pants!!

    • Hell yeah! That movie was hilarous. People need to lighten up.

      Though I’m so glad they’re not doing a sequel. It probably would’ve been the typical straight-to-DVD sequel.

  • Zoolander is amazing! You’re a giant stick in the mud if the ridiculousness of that movie doesn’t make you at least smile.

  • You’re insane. Zoolander was one of the funniest movies ever. From the ‘walk-off’ to Will Ferrell’s tiny phone, to when the guys blew up pouring gas on themselves to the MerMan commercial. Priceless. Crying laughing priceless.

  • Just to point out, the tweet doesn’t say there won’t be a sequel, it gives the plot line of the sequel: the story of a stupid poor man trying to make a comeback

  • Blasphemy! Zoolander is the best thing since sliced bread. You should be fired immediately!

  • i officially hate your sense of humor now.
    if you cannot enjoy zoolander for the gem it is then you are a dissapointment.

    It has a cult following for a reason and many consider it the best movie Farrell, Wilson and Stiller ever made.

    it’s bizarre, wacky and apsurd in the best fucking way.

    “mystery men” and “idiocracy”
