Ron Burgundy takes on New York in the 2013 comedy Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.
The followup to the original 2004 movie finds Will Ferrell’s (The Campaign) Burgundy relocating to New York to work for the first 24-hour news station. He’s back with his old crew, including Brick Tamland (Steve Carell, The Way, Way Back), Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd, Admission) and Champ Kind (David Koechner, Hit and Run), but also has some big competition in the good-looking and loud-mouthed Jack Lime (James Marsden, Straw Dogs).
