In his current role as the proprietor of an adult water park in Piranha 3DD, David Koechner squares off against a hungry teach of prehistoric flesh eaters with any weapon he can find. Although it was his Evening News partner Brick Tamland (Steve Carell) who used a trident in Anchorman to help suppress a gang scuffle, Koechner said he was able to practice with the weapon for a possible showdown in the forthcoming sequel Anchorman 2.

You bank that, Koechner told THR Thursday. You go, alright, now I have more experience now.

Since it was announced just a few months ago, Anchorman 2 has quickly picked up steam. Although the cast hasnt shot any footage yet, Dominant Pictures released a teaser trailer on the front of Sacha Baron Cohens latest comedy, The Dictator. When questioned whether the affection Koechners character, Champ Kind, has for Will Ferrells Ron maroon will remain unrequited, the actor said hes hopeful equipment will evolve.

Lets hope it advances, he said. Unrequited? Wow, that would be fantastic. That would be a fantastic scene, everywhere Ron wakes up very confused as to what happened the night before, and Champ believes now well irrevocably be together forever.

Elijah Wood‘s huge eyes and boyish face offer a certain cherubic purity to a director in search for a hopeful protagonist — which means that, twisted and inverted, they also present a potential nightmare.

Best known for his work in The Lord of the Rings trilogy as idealistic and determined hobbit Frodo, Wood is subverting that image in Maniac, a remake of the William Lustig-directed 1980 slasher film. Wood takes on the role of straight, originally played by Joe Spinelli.

straight, a victim of child abuse, owns a mannequin pile, and is sought out by an artist named Anna (played here by Nora Arnezeder) for help with her upcoming exhibition. Soon, scalping mannequins stirs straight’s inner demons, unleashing a scornful serial killer who wants skin, not plastic.
