The first full trailer for the sequel to ZOOLANDER has been released, and it will not disappoint fans of the first film. Take a look at the video above.
This time, the ridiculously good-looking (and astoundingly stupid) model Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller) and his former nemesis Hans (Owen Wilson) have a new fashion rival to contend with – a model of ambiguous gender played by Benedict Cumberbatch. The trailer opens with the two former fashion muses being ridiculed at a fashion show as “old” and “lame”.
However, things go from bad to worse for Derek as a mysterious killer is targeting the world’s most beautiful people, including Justin Bieber. All of the victims take a selfie imitating Derek’s famous Blue Steel pose before their death. Naturally, only the world’s most endearingly stupid male model can help detective Montana Grosso, played by Penelope Cruz, solve the mystery.
Will Ferrell, who played villainous designer Mugatu in the original film, is back on the screen once more in ZOOLANDER 2 – and his time in prison has only made his temper worse…
ZOOLANDER 2 WAS directed by Stiller, with Justin Theroux writing the screenplay. Stuart Cornfeld, Scott Rudin, and Clayton Townsend all served as producers. Stiller also produced under his Red Hour Films banner. Stiller previously directed, co-wrote and produced the 2001 comedy ZOOLANDER. That film went on to gross over $60 million at the global box office.
Fans of the first film have been eagerly anticipating the sequel ever since it was officially announced in typically flamboyant Zoolander-style at Paris Fashion Week back in March, when Stiller and Wilson strutted their stuff on the runway of Maison Valentino’s show. (If you missed out on that, click here). Now the wait for the release of the sequel is almost over…
ZOOLANDER 2 is released on February 12th, 2016.
