Being a sequel of legendary comedy of 00s, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) doesn't mean to copy or event to develop a plot of the original movie. For Anchorman: The Legend Continues (2012) it's a totally true. Although there is the same director and producer in both of the movies: Adam McKay and Judd Apatow accordingly, and the plot is written by the same Will Ferrel (The Other Guys, Step Brothers, Wedding Crashers) who plays main character, Ron Burgundy, in Anchorman: The Legend Continues – these two movies are "absolutely different": new jokes in the same 70s-styled environment. The rest of the cast were left intact: Christina Applegate (The Big Hit, Claudine's Return, Just Visiting) plays Veronica Corningstone Ron's person of interest, while Paul Rudd (Admission, This Is 40, Wanderlust) stars as Brian Fantana, an arrogant and over-sexiest Ron's coworker.
