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.

“Old School Rules Walk Off!” by Bobby O’Herlihy

Yes, it’s really, really, ridiculously good looking.

Gallery 1988 is, if not the best, probably one of the world’s premiere galleries of pop culture inspired art. Arrested Development, famous stand-up comedy, etc. have all gotten art tributes from professional artists and rested on its walls.

“King For A Day, Mugatu For A Lifetime” by Brendon Flynn

Now, they just had a whole show in tribute to Zoolander as the Zoolander 2 is coming out this year and it both does Blue Steel proud and shows off the finer points of how ridiculous Will Ferrell’s Mugatu looks.

You can peruse and buy some of the Zoolander art at Gallery 1988 here.

If Will Ferrell says he doesn’t know what you’re talking about when you ask about the bird on his shoulder, there is most certainly a bit at hand.

There was a time where Ferrell used to pull bananas from the guest couch that he would eat and try not to address at late night talk shows and now Will has upgraded to birds that may or may not be named “Professor Feathers” on his shoulder, “allegedly”.

Watch Will avoid talking about what’s on his should here, then talk about a cowbell album and again try to avoid talking about the bird.

Here’s Will again explaining why he’s foregoing on the Zoolander sequel that has to do with a certain “friend of his”.

Once more, Will doesn’t talk about the bird, but instead addresses John Madden’s criticism of Ferrell’s spring training charity stunt.

This is just more proof that Ferrell is one of the best late night guests in the late night game

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.

(via Deadline)

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?

While Justin Theroux and Ben Stiller have hinted that a sequel to Zoolander might be on the horizon soon, it has only been hints and rumors that we might get to see Blue Steel from Zoolander’s visage once more.

However, Will Ferrell has commented in a recent interview with JoBlo that a script is indeed in place that will have a read through soon and the villainous fashion designer Mugatu that he plays is set to return in the sequel.

That still leaves plenty to be do with actually getting cameras rolling, but, for now, this is great progress where there hasn’t been any for years.

(via Uproxx, HT Vulture)

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.

There’s Still a Chance for a Zoolander Sequel

While in a film festival in Sicily, Zoolander star Ben Stiller addressed the possibility of a Zoolander sequel. There’s a script being worked on but, Stiller commented, “I can’t say that it’s actually a reality yet, but I hope some day it is”

Hopefully, Ben will make time in his and Red Hour’s schedule to make this happen.

‘Zoolander 2’ Could Happen When Ben Stiller Has Time to Do It Justice

A deservingly seminal comedy for many in this generation, Zoolander has stood the test of time in many DVD shelves of twenty and thirty somethings across the country.

Well, it may be time for a sequel when Ben Stiller gets a little more time away from stuff like The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Red Hour Films, all the web videos he pops up in, and much more so we can all imitate whatever look Derek Zoolander comes up with next.
