Christine Taylor will reprise her role as Matilda Jeffries in the long-awaited Zoolander 2.
Taylor told Entertainment Weekly that she would return for the sequel to the cult 2001 comedy. The film is rumored to reunite the rest of the original cast as well, including Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell, though this hasn’t been confirmed.
New cast members will also join the really, really, ridiculously good-looking cast. As we previously reported, she will be joining new cast member Penelope Cruz.
The original film revolved around Ben Stiller’s Derek Zoolander, a moronic male model. Brainwashed by Will Ferrell’s fashion mogul Jacobim Mugatu into killing the prime minister of Malaysia, Derek teams up with his up-and-coming rival Hansel (Owen Wilson) and the model-hating Jeffries to stop the plot.
Zoolander 2 has been in development for years. Ben Stiller and Will Ferrell have both said that the film is still happening, and these casting announcements give credibility to their assurances.
Stiller will direct Zoolander 2 from a script by Justin Theroux.
