Plot

When the world's most beautiful people are systematically assassinated with formerly famous male model Derek Zoolander's iconic "Blue Steel" look on their face, Interpol recruits Derek and his friend Hansel McDonald to infiltrate a new and different world of high fashion in order to put a stop to it. Meanwhile, Derek's rival Jacobim Mugatu is set free for his revenge.

Cast

Production

In December 2008, Stiller confirmed he wanted to make a sequel to Zoolander, saying: "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."[18] When interviewed on the May 15, 2009 episode of Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, Stiller said he was looking at a number of scripts.[19] By February 2010, Justin Theroux, who also co-wrote Tropic Thunder with Stiller, was hired to write and direct the sequel.[20] By the following month, Stiller confirmed he would be co-writing the script, stating, "We're in the process of getting a script written, so it's in the early stages. But yeah, it's going to happen."[21] At some later, unspecified point, Stiller had taken over as director.[22] On the December 17, 2010, episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Owen Wilson said a Zoolander sequel would likely be made, tentatively titled Twolander.[23]

In January 2011, Stiller confirmed that the script had been completed, and described the plot: "It’s ten years later and most of it is set in Europe... it’s basically Derek and Hansel... though the last movie ended on a happy note a lot of things have happened in the meantime. Their lives have changed and they’re not really relevant anymore. It’s a new world for them. Will Ferrell is written into the script and he’s expressed interest in doing it. I think Mugatu is an integral part of the Zoolander story, so yes, he features in a big way.”[24] In July 2012, Stiller described a difficult development process: "We have a script, as we’ve had for a little while, and it’s not quite coming together right now but I hope it does. I would like to do it at some point in the future."[25] In September 2014, Ferrell said of the sequel, "We are actually supposed to do a read-through of a sequel script soon, and Mugatu is a part of it."[26][27]

By November 20, 2014, Penélope Cruz had joined the cast,[2] and by January 29, 2015, Christine Taylor was hired to reprise her role as Matilda Jeffries.[3] By February 9, 2015, it was announced filming was set to commence at Rome's Cinecittà studios in the spring of 2015.[28] On March 10, 2015, Stiller and Wilson appeared at the Paris Fashion Week in character as Derek Zoolander and Hansel McDonald. That same day, Paramount announced Zoolander 2 would be released on February 12, 2016.[1] On April 21, 2015, Fred Armisen joined the cast.[8]

Principal photography began on April 7, 2015, and ended on July 13, 2015.[29][30] The film was shot at Cinecittà studios in Rome, Italy.[31]
