‘Zoolander 2’ Is Finally Happening, Because the Universe Isn’t a Cold Meaningless Vacuum After All

Ben Stiller has been trying to make Zoolander 2 for 13 years. Now it's finally going to happen.

Fresh off the huge box office success of The Farrelly Brothers' Dumb and Dumber To, Paramount Picture is finally committing to Zoolander 2.

Stiller will once again direct and star as the titular dim-witted non-ambiturner, while Justin Theroux will pen the script. There have been rumors that Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell will reprise their roles as Hansel and Mugato as well, and I'm 99% sure that these rumors will prove to be true. However, right now their involvement is unconfirmed.

You know who is confirmed, according to Deadline? Penelope Cruz. We don't know what role she will play. Perhaps she'll be a love interest for Hansel. Perhaps she'll be a villain. But whatever she is, I'm pretty sure she'll be a model, seeing as how she is really, really ridiculously good-looking.

Obviously, this movie has a ton of potential because the original Zoolander is an all-time classic. The trick for Stiller and company will be staying creative and showing restraint. If they cut back on the celebrity cameos, avoid scenes that are too long, and try to come up with new gags instead of doing crazier versions of the old ones, Zoolander 2 should be alright.
