“We had an idea and we contacted Steve [Carell] and Paul [Rudd] and [David] Koechner and Christina [Applegate] and checked in with everyone and they were all game for it. The stage we’re at now is talking to Paramount and trying to get the money to do it. It’s a tricky movie because everyone went and did really well after it, so everyone’s prices went up and everyone’s time got a little more valuable. But at the same time, graciously, Steve and Paul and everyone agreed to cut their price to come and do it, which you don’t see very often in Hollywood — and cut their price substantially. But even with that, it’s just a budgetary thing with Paramount in terms of how much they’ll give us to make it.†—Director Adam McKay on Anchorman 2 [MTV]

It’s like, ‘Let me do that now, because before I know it I’ll be fuckin’ old.’ Really, it’s a great way to learn, and it makes my job a lot easier the better the other person is. I like that a lot. I really do. I get something out of it. It’s just a turn-on.†—Paul Dano on working with actors Alan Arkin, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Kevin Kline [Movieline]
“[It’s] just a myth. … [It’s] like the white alligator in the sewer, you know? Who’s seen it, really? … It’s just really the movie studio. They love the franchise, they’d just like to re-create it again. All this talk is just talk. It drives me nuts, it’s just people talking… Until someone actually creates a great script it’s just hogwash, it doesn’t mean anything.†—Bill Murray on Ghostbusters 3 [/Film]
“They opened a new era for me. Up to now, I think, ‘OK, I got used to [remixes of my work].’ I was excited, of course, and very thankful. But this one, ‘Give Me Something,’ just blew my mind. It really blew my mind. This is beautiful.†—Yoko Ono on the Junior Boys’ chart-topping remix [Spinner]
