Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy 20th Anniversary 4K Blu-ray
Paramount Pictures UK has officially announced that it will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) with a "Stay Classy" Collector's Edition 4K Blu-ray/Blu-ray combo pack, which is scheduled to arrive on the market on August 5th.
Description: It's kind of a big deal.
Released in cinemas on July 9, 2004, ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY marked the feature directorial debut of Adam McKay and was written by McKay and Will Ferrell, who stars as the titular, mustachioed hero. The film features a veritable pantheon of comedic talent, including Christina Applegate, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, David Koechner, and Fred Willard, along with a cavalcade of cameos.
Set in the 1970s, ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY tells the ridiculously funny story of a testosterone-filled newsroom threatened by the arrival of an ambitious female anchor. Endlessly quotable and enduringly hilarious, ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY is widely considered to be one of the greatest comedies of all time.
The 20th Anniversary 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray set includes the remastered theatrical version of the film in sparkling 4K, plus two Blu-ray Discs with more than two hours of legacy bonus content, including cast auditions, deleted scenes, bloopers, an "Afternoon Delight" music video, and much, much more. In addition, fans can enjoy both the theatrical and extended cuts of the film on Blu-ray, as well as WAKE UP, RON BURGUNDY: THE LOST MOVIE, a 92-minute film featuring outtakes and unused storylines from the original movie.
Synopsis: There was a time before cable when the local anchorman reigned supreme.... Enter the hard-hitting world of the 1970s local TV news, where Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) and his loyal Channel 3 News Team (Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, David Koechner) are San Diego's #1 rated news source. All is well in their male-dominated world of news until beautiful, rising-star reporter Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) turns it all upside down. Sparks don't just fly, they ignite an all-out war between the two perfectly coiffed anchorpersons. In a job where it pays to keep a straight face, Anchorman is the comedy that makes it almost impossible to stop laughing.
