Ummm Interesting
Stiller back for more Blue Steel
Hollywood comic Ben Stiller has confirmed that he hopes to star in the planned 'Zoolander' sequel.
The 'Meet The Parents' star will join Owen Wilson for the anticipated sequel, which will once again have a go at the fashion industry after the success of the 2001 original.
Despite the fact that Stiller previously rejected an offer from Wilson to reprise his male model role in 'Zoolander 2', he admits to having warmed to the idea in recent weeks.
Stiller said: "I would love to do a Zoolander sequel. There are a couple of obstacles - one is the studio hasn't asked! That's the biggest one! I'm waiting for them to ask; I don't want to go to them. The other, bigger obstacle is that Drake Sather, who created the character, passed away, really tragically.
"He was a really good friend of mine, and it's hard for me to figure out how to do it. He created the character, then me, John Hamburg and him wrote the script.
"So that's frustrating to me that he's not there, because he was the heart and soul of all the shorts and the script. I think John and I could address it, but that really took the wind out of my sails for a bit."

I adore the movie Zoolander too like everyone else....and I always thought Ben Stiller wrote it so I was curious about who Drake Sather was since Ben Stiller credits him with Zoolander... It is a sad story. My heart goes out to Ben Stiller for the loss of his good friend.
Maybe in this case a sequel is not the way to go...just a thought... #unsure#
