You didn’t think you get away with a Zoolander sequel without a callback to the song Relax, did you?
We didn’t think you did. We just wanted to make sure. Watch this new Zoolander 2 trailer here, then look for it in theaters on Fri. Feb. 12th.
Back when Zoolander first came out back in 2001, social media hadn’t been created, much less caught on. Thus, creating the legend of Derek Zoolander was left to a montage in the beginning of the movie.
Now, 15 years later, Ben Stiller can actually go around in character as Derek and make it really seem like he’s the biggest male model that there ever was, is, and will be, especially since the fashion world seems game as well.
On top of this Esquire UK cover pictured above and an accompanying photo shoot video, Derek has done in-depth interviews with Vogue, walked the runway during a Valentino fashion show, and even had a whirlwind romance that lasted a few hours with other actual models like Cara Delevigne.
All in all, it’s a pretty great promotional campaign for Zoolander 2, which comes out next week.
Vogue Magazine did their 73 Questions web series with one of the most really, really, ridiculously good looking people on the planet, Derek Zoolander.
Derek was gracious enough to let Vogue (and the rest of us technically) tour his lavish apartment, which features “not that much” exercise equipment amongst other ludicrous features, during the interview.
It’s almost like it’s right out of Zoolander 2.
The release of Zoolander 2 is just a few weeks away (specifically Feb. 12th) and we’re only bound to get more clever promotional materials coming the way of the Internet.
This cologne style teaser is only the beginning.
Though it’s an international trailer for Zoolander 2, it’s still in English, but features international movie star Penelope Cruz much more.
We’re sure more trailers are going to come out in leading up to its release on Feb. 12th, but, from the looks of it, they haven’t given too much away quite yet like so many other collections of trailers as of late.
Watch this latest trailer here.
Zoolander came out 2001 and was so damn funny.
Then, over a decade passed before there were serious whispers of a sequel coming about.
Finally, it will have been 15 years later when the sequel comes out on Feb. 12th, 2016.
We only had to wait 14 years for the trailer, that was just posted this morning, and it is seems to pick up where the original movie left off with how hysterical it is. There’s an unbelievable turn by Benedict Cumberbatch and perhaps Justin Bieber’s most redeeming role in a movie yet, not to mention what’s done to Kristen Wiig and, well, we’ll just stop talking and let you enjoy it already.

Just take a look at both of these gorgeous visages and try telling us that you’re not entranced and will most definitely will go see Zoolander 2 when it comes out.
After all the years of waiting just to hear talk of a sequel to Zoolander, then the years of being teased with of who will be in the movie or promotional stunts, there’s finally a teaser for Zoolander 2.
Watch the really, really good looking teaser here.
This definitely tops the other recent casting announcements.
Thus far, Zoolander 2 has Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson returning in their roles, but they also have Billy Zane who appeared in a cameo returning as well as the additions of Kristen Wiig and Penelope Cruz.
Now, Fred Armisen is in the mix according to Ben Stiller and his Instagram’s.
We don’t know what character he’s playing, but we can definitely see him perhaps as someone avenging the defeat of Mugatu or the son of the evil DJ.
In addition to Zoolander 2 coming to theaters next year on Feb. 12th and Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson as Derek Zoolander and Hansel walking down the Valentino catwalk in Paris at the end of a real fashion show, Derek and Hansel got some words of encouragement from the one and only Anna Wintour in an exclusive video for Vogue.
Then, both Derek and Hansel actually walked the catwalk at the same time and had a pretty great staredown.
Enjoy these clips for awhile because it’ll be quite some time before we see any teasers or trailers for the movie.
While there was no “walk-off”, Derek Zoolander and Hansel strutted down the runway for Valentino in Paris last night. It was the perfect primer to announce that Zoolander 2 will be coming to theaters for Valentine’s Day weekend, Feb. 12th, 2016.
If you have further doubts and/or haven’t checked any of your other news feeds today, here’s video footage of Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson in their Zoolander trademark Blue Steel and flowing golden locks
We can only hope that Zoolander 2 outdoes the movie that was released on Valentine’s Day weekend this year, Fifty Shades of Grey.

For all the rumors and subsequent crossing of fingers by the rest of us for a sequel to Zoolander, Zoolander 2 is now officially set to shoot.
Over spring, Stiller and Blue Steel will return to Derek Zoolander, this time, in Rome with the blessing of Rome’s mayor Ignazio Marino.
How that will figure into Zoolander attempting to foil a plot to dominate the fashion industry/the world is unclear, but we’re more than happy that it’s happening. So, this means a release early next year hopefully?

For the last year, rumors of a Zoolander 2 being in the works have been floated around. In the 13 years that have passed between the original Zoolander and now, many of us have learned to not hold our breath for the sequel.
However, Will Ferrell saying that a script is in the works and that his character Mugatu is returning gave us hope and, today, learning that Penelope Cruz, who wasn’t in the first movie, has joined the cast gives us even more of that hope to see Derek Zoolander and Blue Steel once more on the big screen.
This now makes us wonder what geopolitical situation are they going to try tie into Zoolander’s world? North Korea? The Middle East?
In addition to Ben Stiller’s remarks on the legitimate possibility of a Zoolander sequel 13 years after original, Justin Theroux, who played the evil DJ that is one of Mugatu/Will Ferrell’s henchmen, gave a little more backing to a Zoolander 2 actually happening.
While being interviewed by Vulture for his role in The Leftovers, Theroux commented that there is actual work being done on a script for the sequel and scheduling for everyone that would be involved has been an issue.
Hopefully, we will get to see the progress of The Derek Zoolander School for Kids Who Can’t Read Good and Want to Do Other Good Stuff Too sometime in the next year or so.
