Steve Carell Announces Start Of Shooting On ‘Anchorman: The Legend Continues’, Dylan Baker And Meagan Good Join Cast
AsAnchorman: The Legend Continuesenters production in Atlanta, it’s been adding new cast members left and right. The newest arrivals today areMeagan GoodandDylan Baker, who join franchise newcomersKristin WiigandJames Marsden.John C. Reillyis also rumored for a cameo, though the production is staying mum on that one.
But while the new characters might get to do new and exciting things, returning starSteve Carellsays his hope for Brick is that nothing will have changed. “He will not evolve,” he told Jay Leno last night. Hit the jump to keep reading.
Deadline, which got the scoop on Good and Baker’s casting, reports that Good will play the new boss to Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell). Considering how well he took to having a female co-anchor in the last film, a female superior is bound to go over real smoothly. The site did not have any information on whom Baker would play.
Good was seen last year inThink Like a Man, and currently stars in NBC’sDeception. Baker has appeared in a string of TV guest roles lately, including on USA’sPolitical Animals, CBS’The Good Wife, and NBC’sSmash. On the cinematic front, he’s best known for playing Dr. Curt Connors in Sam Raimi’sSpider-Mantrilogy.
As for speculation thatStep Brothersco-stars Reilly and Ferell could reunite for this film, a rep for the production would neither confirm nor deny. They did, however, offer an alternate explanation for that Reilly stand-incasting call: “We were looking for a stand-in for lighting purposes who looks like John C. Reilly. We always demand that every stand-in looks like John C. Reilly.”
