This is the first film in the series to be released by Paramount Pictures, which acquired the DreamWorks back catalog in 2006 (and owned the studio itself until 2008), including ownership of the first movie and other films from DreamWorks that were made before the Paramount merger. On March 28, 2012 Paramount Pictures agreed with Adam McKay to make a sequel to the first Anchorman movie. Later that day, actor Will Ferrell officially announced the sequel dressed in character as Ron Burgundy on the late-night talk-show Conan. A teaser trailer was filmed approximately one week after Ferrell's announcement. The teaser trailer, featuring Ferrell, Rudd, Koechner and Carell, premiered on May 16, 2012 in front of the movie The Dictator. An online version of the trailer premiered on May 21, 2012 on the website FunnyOrDie.com. At a charitable event in May 2012, Will Ferrell confirmed that script writing had begun and that filming would begin around February 2013, confirming that the film will possibly be released sometime between Fall 2013 and Christmas 2013. The film is scheduled to be released on December, 20, 2013. Director Adam McKay confirmed in February that actress Kristen Wiig joined the cast. Filming began in March 2013. On March 4, 2013, actor Harrison Ford was spotted on set with Will Ferrell.
