Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues UK Retail Release Announced

Ron Burgundy literally fights a minotaur to land in UK retailers this Spring!
Paramount Pictures have today confirmed the UK release date of the DVD and Blu-Ray retail version of their 2013 comedy film Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Set to re-release in cinemas with an Extended Cut (imaginatively titled Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues Continued...) later this week, the sequel follows the ever-controversial news anchor Ron Burgundy as he encounters racial dilemmas, 24-7 news networks and even the occasional Ghost of Stonewall Jackson in his bid to reunite his divided family.

As well as the standard theatrical version of the film which launched last December, the Blu-Ray will come packaged with both The Legend Continues Continued... AND an 'Unrated' cut of Will Ferrell's latest big-screen outing. The latter rendition will probably inhabit a middle ground of sorts between its box office predecessors, although until more details on the set are unveiled, we can't be sure on that front. What is certain, on the other hand, is that DVD owners will once again be short-changed, since the standard edition will only contain the original theatrical cut. If ever there was a time when distributors ceased to put effort into the cheapest version of their retail releases, it's sadly right now.

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues Continued... commences its broadcast in UK and US cinemas this Friday February 28th, and Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues lands on DVD and Blu-Ray via UK high-street and digital retailers this April 28th.
