Recently, USAToday's Pop Candy blog pointed out to the world that, once again, rumblings have started concerning the possibility of a sequel to the much-loved Will Ferrell movie, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.

Land of the Lost is an adaptation of the 1970s television show, centering on a disgraced paleontologist and his wacky adventures with dinosaurs.
