Anchorman 2 plot details have surfaced! Director and writer Adam McKay states the sequel will focus on a 24-hour cable network and diversity in the workplace.  Keep reading to find out if “diversity” means that old wooden ships will be added into the studio!

McKay recently sat down with Empire to talk about Anchorman 2‘s progress thus far.  With only 2.5% of the script completed, they’re going to make a lot of progress within the next few months.  It looks as if they’re not referring to diversity as an “old wooden ship,” but the true definition.  McKay states:

“It’s right when all the news started changing with the 24-hours news cycle in ’78 or ’79. All of a sudden, local news stations diversified and had Latino anchors and African-American anchors, and any time you’re talking about diversity and the Action News team, that’s always fun to deal with. We know these guys never deal well with change, and the good thing is that there’s a big blast of change coming, according to the regular timeline. We’re going to be throwing a lot of innovation at them, and they’re not going to handle it well.”

When a woman joined the news team, the team didn’t handle it well. It’ll be interesting to see how poorly the Action News team will handle more change!

What do you think of the plot thus far?
