Ben Stiller's comedy sequel Zoolander 2 is moving closer and closer to happening, with the star recently revealing he has completed the script with co-writer Justin Theroux. Ben Stiller also revealed that Will Ferrell will likely return as Mugatu. Here's what he had to say about the project:

"Where it's at is we've completed the script, Justin Theroux and I, and handed it into the studio. Now the studio has the script and we're at that point where we're waiting to see what they want to do. It's ten years later and most of it is set in Europe. I don't want to give away too much, but it's basically Derek and Hansel ten years later - though the last movie ended on a happy note a lot of things have happened in the meantime. Their lives have changed and they're not really relevant anymore. It's a new world for them. Will Ferrell is written into the script and he's expressed interest in doing it. I think Mugatu is an integral part of the Zoolander story, so yes, he features in a big way."


We reported back in November that Zoolander 2 would likely shoot sometime this year, although a production schedule wasn't revealed.

Zoolander 2 is in development and stars Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell. The film is directed by Justin Theroux.

    I'm sorry to say, but I love stupid humor. (: I adored Zoolander for the silliness that it was. :] Bring on the sequel.

    @Rufio You're not in the minority. Zoolander was the dumbest sh*t I've ever seen. It felt like my intelligence was lowered watching it.

    i am in the minority, but i thought the first one was absolute torture. 20 minutes in i was wondering why i paid any amount to willingly sit in a theater to watch it. the odds of me even watching this once it comes to TV are not good. pass...
