It has been over a decade (15 years, once the movie releases) since we received the first “Zoolander” movie starring Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson. So, to follow the timeline some what appropriately, “Zoolander 2” catches up with out stars, Derek Zoolander and Hansel approximately 10 years later from where we last left off.
Here’s what Ben Stiller had to say about the movie based on the script which gives us a general synopsis;
“It’s ten years later and most of it is set in Europe, It’s basically Derek and Hansel ten years later – though the last movie ended on a happy note a lot of things have happened in the meantime. Their lives have changed and they’re not really relevant anymore. It’s a new world for them.”
I may have to revisit the first Zoolander to refresh my memory before I plan on going to see this one, considering the movie will be in theaters February 12, 2016 that leaves me with plenty of time. On top of Starring in the film, Ben Stiller co-wrote and co-produced which basically allowed for a lot of freedom in a sense to make this movie the way he see fit.
What makes this movie even more enticing is the supporting cast and guest appearances that are expected to be in Zoolander 2; Penélope Cruz, Christine Taylor, Kristen Wiig and Cyrus Arnold, Will Ferell, Billy Zane, Fred Armisen, Justin Bieber, Kyle Mooney, Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, and to be honest I think we are just scratching the surface.
