Will Ferrell said ``Anchorman 2`` was killed by the ``idiots'' at Paramount Pictures. The funnyman lamented that the bosses at the movie studio decided not to green light the production to the follow-up film to the 2004 hit comedy. Speaking to the press at the conference for his new film ``Every Must Go,'' Ferrell said that Paramount killed their grand idea for the sequel. And since the film studio owns the rights to the film, he can't revive it. He said, via Cinema Blend, ``'Anchorman 2,' you really have to assert some sort of email hate campaign to Paramount Pictures. They've told us, 'We've run the numbers and it's not a good fit.'' The sad part was they were even planning to do a Broadway musical for the film, but that won't happen, too. Ferrell continued, ``We were going to do almost a reverse... almost like how the Marx brothers used to do -- we were going to do a Broadway musical and then have a film come out after the stage show. Everyone we tell the idea loves it, except for the studio that owns the rights.'' ``Ball's in their courts, but they're being idiots.'' One thing that could still happen is a sequel to the 2008 blockbuster ``Step Brothers.'' ``We just sat down with John (C. Reilly, co-star) and we were kicking around some ideas. So, you know, maybe. We'll see.''
