We really, really mean it!Paramount have green lit the sequel to 2001 cult classic Zoolander, with Justin Theroux [see: Tropic Thunder and Iron Man 2] set to collaborate with Mr. 'Blue Steel' himself Ben Stiller.
According to Deadline Hollywood, Theroux is set to parade around Fashion Week in the name of 'research' as it hits Paris to ''immerse himself on what is current in fashion''.
While still in early development possible plot and casting information remains sketchy, though it is hoped Owen Wilson will return to complete the reunion of male models Hansel and Derek. Jonah Hill is reportedly in negotiations to fill the role of villain vacated by Will Ferrell's Mugatu.
But, hang on to your britches there is a string attached to this movie goodness, a shoe string actually. Paramount has decided to set a low budget following dire box office takings from Zoolander. However, this action seems a harsh one, taking into consideration that the original was released immediately post September 11th, and consequently suffered. In fact, if not for its post box office cult status Derek and Hansel would have been confined to male modeling history.
