The Greek philosopher Plutarch once said, "The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled." Such liberties, however, are not necessarily in model Derek Zoolander's possession. You can't really blame him, though, for his brain is about the size of a peanut.
At least that much is confirmed by the first teaser trailer for his upcoming sequel, Zoolander 2, particularly when he tries to figure out the different titles tagged to the 2016 movie. Cards like 2oolander and Zoolander II go beyond his comprehension, but in his defense, he doesn't spell his name with a two and he's not Italian. Plus, nobody seems to be answering the subject's biggest question: "If God exists, why did he make ugly people?"
If there's an answer to the model's questions, they'll likely come when his latest drops into theaters on February 12. Ben Stiller — the man behind the absent-minded, Blue Steel-rocking titular character himself — returns not only to lead the movie but to fill the director's chair as well, as Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell and Stiller's wife Christine Taylor also are back to revive their characters. It's not just them, however, who come on-board. Olivia Munn, Kristen Wiig, Penélope Cruz, Billy Zane, Justin Bieber and Fred Armisen fill out the supporting cast, as do superstar couple Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West (reportedly). Although details are limited, the production landed itself in Rome earlier this year and follows how Zoolander and Hansel once again team together 15 years after their first 2001 film to take down the rival modeling company threatening to end their careers.
Justin Theroux — whom many likely know best as an actor currently frontlining HBO's The Leftovers — wrote the screenplay for this, marking his second time working with Stiller after they penned his 2008 comedy Tropic Thunder together alongside Etan Cohen (the guy behind Get Hard earlier this year, not one-half of the Coen brothers). Some reports suggested he would direct this sequel too, but apparently his production schedule for the show didn't allow him the availability.
Check out the teaser below. Comedy sequels rarely ever live up to the potential of the first film, but maybe this one follows suit with Farrell's return to his own 2004 comedy Anchorman two years ago and serves as a respectable, if entirely unnecessary, continuation.
