Derek Zoolander's first big-screen outing didn't fare well in theaters, but became a massive hit thanks to the home video market (see Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery). Unlike similar movies based on sketch comedy premises, Zoolander had enough laughs to justify its full-length status. But does it deserve a sequel? Ben Stiller seems to think so:
"I’ve been trying to get Zoolander 2 together and we’ve had a few scripts. . . I feel that is the sequel I really would like to do some day because I like the original and I would make sure it was something new and worthy of it first."
It's not that he's doing it purely for the money; the scratch he's made on the Madagascars, Night at the Museums and Meet the Parents movies alone puts him in that rare producer/actor firmament reserved for Will Smith and the like. Let's hope there's still a fashion industry left to mock by the time this latest sequel goes into production.

I am so happy!!! Zoolander is one of my favorite movies! it always makes me laugh because it has so many layers of humour! I really hope Ben will decide to go ahead and make the second one! yippee!
This just made my day!!! I´m gonna let everybody see what all my friends say: how there´s no "blue steel" sequel and we still got to watch james "facial paralisis" Bond?!:Ben Give us a chance! we got crazy fights about tropic thunder vs. ZLNDR as the best comedy of all times.I live in spain, but I´d take a trip to the chinese theatre 4 D opening night!!
For me this is a dream come true. My favorite movie besides the latest Indiana Jones movie is Zoolander. I have a gold copy of it mounted on my wall. I'm just kidding–about the Indiana Jones thing. That movie sucked. But seriously, if Zoolander 2 comes out, I'll be there opening night.
