Zoolander 2 trailer breaks views record
While “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” broke viewing records with its trailer, another upcoming film recently did the same for its own genre: “Zoolander 2”.
Despite the fact that the trailer premiered less than two weeks ago, Variety reports that it has already broken the record for most watched trailer for a comedy film ever. Since hitting the web on November 18, the trailer went on to garner more than 52 million views in its first week on the Internet. The previous record holder was 2014's “Dumb and Dumber To”, which was, similarly, a sequel to a long-dormant classic comedy franchise.
People have been clamoring for a Zoolander sequel ever since the original opened all the way back in 2001. Returning Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller) and Hansel (Owen Wilson) to center stage, “Zoolander 2” revolves around Interpol's recruitment of the once iconic male models to investigate the murders of the world's most beautiful celebrities – who all die giving Zoolander's signature look: Blue Steel.
Also starring Will Ferrell, Penelope Cruz and Kristen Wiig (plus a Benedict Cumberbatch cameo) and directed by Stiller himself, the Zoolander 2 will hit theatres on February 12, 2016.
