ZOOLANDER 2?

From ComingSoon.net:

"Tropic Thunder and Iron Man 2 writer Justin Theroux is reportedly in talks to direct a sequel to Zoolander at Paramount Pictures. He would write the script with star Ben Stiller.

There's no deal yet for Owen Wilson to return as Hansel, but the villain will likely be played by Jonah Hill, who is said to be in negotiations.

The original film on September 28, 2001 and earned $60.8 million worldwide. It carried a budget of about $28 million."

Great! One of Ben Stiller's funniest characters! "Peek-a-boo!"

UPDATE:

"Last week, it was reported that Ben Stiller is working together with Tropic Thunder and Iron Man 2 writer Justin Theroux on a sequel to Zoolander at Paramount Pictures. Jonah Hill was said to be in negotiations to play the villain.

Speaking to MTV, Stiller confirmed sequel plans. 'We are in the process of getting a script written. It's in the early stages, but it's gonna happen.'

He added: '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.'

Stiller said that Will Ferrell's Mugatu would be back, if the actor is up for it. 'If Will says yes, he definitely has to be a part of it. To me, Mugatu is one of the classic screen villains of all time.'"

Will Ferrell gets an OOBERMIND

From ComingSoon.net:

"DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. announced today that Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill will star alongside Tina Fey in its upcoming theatrical release, Oobermind, which is scheduled to hit theaters on November 5, 2010. Will Ferrell assumes the leading role of Oobermind, replacing Robert Downey, Jr., who has left the production due to scheduling conflicts.

When super villain Oobermind (Ferrell) defeats his archrival Metro Man (Pitt), the world should be his oyster. But instead, Oobermind falls into total despair. It turns out that life without a rival is life without a point for him. So, he creates a new superhero rival, Titan (Hill). Unfortunately, the new hero wants to be a super villain, too. Caught in the middle, star reporter Roxanne Ritchi (Fey) asks the tough questions: Who can we turn to? Who has what it takes to stand up to this menace? Who will defend the ? Oobermind! That's who.

'We are thrilled to welcome Will, Brad and Jonah to Oobermind,' said Bill Damaschke, Co-President of Production & President of Live Theatrical for DreamWorks Animation. 'Together, our all-star cast will set the comedic tone for this exciting new twist on the superhero genre.'

Oobermind is being directed by Tom McGrath (Madagascar, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa) and produced by Lara Breay and Denise Nolan Cascino."

Ah! And here I thought we were going to get Robert Downey Jr. in an animated movie! Oh, well, maybe someday.

Will Ferrell seriously needs to do more animated movies. I know he did Curious George but that's for a specific audience - 5 year olds.

Brad Pitt, I'm really surprised to hear about. He must be wanting to do more comedy in his career - Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Inglorious Basterds (I'm not taking him seriously in that accent!)

Jonah Hill as a supervillain? I dunno. I'll wait and see.
