Zoolander 2 moving forward?

Here's a bit of sequel news that we've a funny feeling many of you have been eagerly awaited. The long-mooted follow-up to Ben Stiller's Zoolander may finally have a bit of traction, with the news that screenwriter Justin Theroux is in talks to pen the screenplay.

The news comes courtesy of Deadline Hollywood, which suggests that Theroux - who penned Iron Man 2 and Stiller's earlier Tropic Thunder - would be writing the script, with the idea being that he would make his directorial debut on the project too.

Furthermore, there's a casting rumour doing the rounds. And that's that Jonah Hill could well be involved in the film as the villain of the film.

There's no word on when we can expect Zoolander 2 yet, of course, but given that it's the tenth anniversary of the original film next year, then that wouldn't seem like a bad time to release it. Just saying...
