The First Zoolander 2 Trailer Reminds Us of the Power of Stupidity

A film of greater legend than Anchorman and even greater relevance than the rest of Ben Stiller’s career, Zoolander was exactly the thing that everyone wanted more of, but was too afraid to ask for. Worry not, for Hollywood’s most prolific creation are those films with the number 2 in them. The first Zoolander 2 trailer is here.

I had the pleasure of watching this in an actual movie theater before knowing about it, which means the bait and switch kind of worked – Zoolander himself doesn’t show up on screen until more than a minute in. The result was a sense of surprise I hadn’t felt since Zoolander turned left and finally delivered Magnum. I’m glad I had the chance to ruin that opportunity for you in this very post.

However, upon second viewing, the Zoolander 2 trailer did drop a few hints before its big reveal. After all, I’m not sure the word Eugoogly is in the dictionary, nor does a No Left Turn sign warrant placement among the human brain’s most accomplished creations.

Okay there were a lot of hints, Mermen and dancing monkeys chief among them.

Zoolander 2 is hitting theaters, according to a couple of websites, on Feb. 12, 2016, though the end of this trailer suggests that may be in flux. In addition to Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell and Christine Taylor returning in their respective roles, Zoolander 2 is adding the likes of Kristen Wiig, Olivia Munn and Fred Armisen to the mix.

Also listed on the IMDB page for this movie are Kanye West, Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber. Hopefully those aren’t the only celebrity cameos in the final film. West also appeared in Ferrell’s Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, ever capitalizing on his carefully cultivated, Zoolander-like public image.

Why did God make ugly people?
