This just in…

I don’t think I realised, until a recent revisit, how much I watch this film when it came out, probably for a few years as well! So, we’re all staying classy from now on it because Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year and Paramount Home Entertainment will mark the occasion by releasing the absurdly hilarious, and intensely quotable, star-studded comedy on 4K Ultra HD for the first time ever on 5 August (& you can pre-order here now)!

The Collector’s Edition will include both 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray discs, with a theatrical poster, Ron Burgundy’s notebook, and collectables including a Channel 4 sticker, art cards and loads more, you know, it’s kind of a big deal.

Originally released in cinemas on 9 July 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 in those legendary street fighting scenes.

Set in the 1970s, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy tells a story of a time before digital television, when the local anchorman reigned supreme… Enter the hard-hitting world of the 1970s local TV news, where Ron Burgundy (Ferrell) and his loyal Channel 3 News Team (Rudd, Carell, 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 (Applegate) turns it all upside down. Sparks don’t just fly, they ignite an all-out war between the two perfectly coiffed anchorpersons….

The 20th Anniversary 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray set includes the remastered theatrical version of the film in sparkling 4K Ultra HD, 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.
