Everything We Know About "Zoolander 2" So Far

None

Twolander is the working title for the project, according to Owen Wilson, who dropped the name during a guest stint on The Tonight Show back in 2010. Of course, it's possible he was just joking, but the idea of a Zoolander sequel is silly enough. It deserves an equally, self-aware, stupid title, no?

When Stiller teased the plot about four years ago, he revealed that the sequel picks up with Derek and Hansel 10 years later, and in Europe (filming is set to begin this spring in Rome). By the time Zoolander 2, Twolander, whatever, drops, it will have been 15 years since the original. Safe bets indicate the timeline will expand to reflect as such. 

Some reports indicate Justin Theroux (of Tropic Thunder and Iron Man 2 screenwriting fame) worked on the new screenplay. In other instances, Stiller implied he wrote the script himself. Either way, the plot will apparently find your boys Derek and Hansel in Europe, and washed up, as most models usually are a decade after their prime. How will they regain relevance? A rumored new, antagonizing model company will probably factor into their renewed sense of runway self-worth.

Rest assured, Ferrell's in the cut. Stiller said he wrote Mugatu into the script because he's an "integral part of the Zoolander story," and last September Will himself confirmed that he's down. No word yet on Billy Zane, though.

As a cameo? Hansel's love interest? An antagonist? Who knows, but she's listed on the IMDb page for the sequel. No doubt she'll be easy on the eyes, but here's hoping that whatever her role is, it flexes her underrated comedic skills as much as it does her beauty.

Whether he ends up being 10 or 15 years old, one plot point regarding Derek Jr., last seen stealing the runway spotlight as an infant, has been revealed; he'll be overweight. An image conscious supermodel with a fat son? Sounds like comedy gold. Let the dreamcasting begin.
