What is Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy?
“There was a time before cable when the local anchorman reigned supreme….Enter the hard-hitting world of the 1970s local TV news, where Ron Burgundy and his loyal Channel 3 News Team are San Diego’s #1 rated news source. All is well in their male-dominated world of news until beautiful, rising-star reporter Veronica Corningstone turns it all upside down. Sparks don’t just fly, they ignite an all-out war between the two perfectly coiffed anchorpersons. In a job where it pays to keep a straight face, Anchorman is the comedy that makes it almost impossible to stop laughing,” reads the official synopsis.
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy was directed by Adam McKay from a screenplay he co-wrote with Ferrell. This film was McKay’s feature directorial debut before becoming an Oscar-nominated filmmaker. It also starred Christina Applegate, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, David Koechner, Fred Willard, Chris Parnell, Kathryn Hahn, Fred Armisen, Vince Vaughn, Danny Trejo, Jack Black, Judd Apatow, Tim Robbins, Luke Wilson, Ben Stiller, Seth Rogen and more.
