It will soon be a decade since Derek Zoolander turned the pout into an olympic sport and even now the words ‘Blue Steel’ evoke images of facial contortion.
With Stiller being no stranger to the sequel route, with Another Night at the Museum in recent memory and the second sequel to his Fockers franchise in our future, the news that another Zoolander film is on the way isn’t much a surprise.
MTV spoke to Stiller who confirmed,
We are in the process of getting a script written. It’s in the early stages, but it’s gonna happen. We have a new story idea that we feel excited about and we’re going to try to go forward. The beginning of the movie is [set]… 10 years later, and Derek & Hansel are literally forgotten. Nobody even knows who they are, so they have to re-invent themselves.
Rumours of new additions to the cast include Jonah Hill, and Stiller hopes to reenlist the services of Will Ferrell as Mugatu, who he calls ‘one of the classic screen villains of all time’. Justin Theroux is on scripting duties, reuniting him with the Tropic Thunder actor.
At least it’s not a reboot.
