USA – At some point during every big screen comedian’s career, they’ll eventually take the plunge into more dramatic territory, with the notable exception of Will Ferrell. While former co-stars and contemporaries like Steve Carrell, Jonah Hill and Melissa McCarthy have all picked up Academy Award nominations for serious roles, and his Anchorman director Adam McKay won an Oscar for The Big Short‘s screenplay, Ferrell has, for the most part, remained firmly in his wheelhouse ever since first shooting to success two decades ago.

In fact, you’d have to go back to 2006’s Stranger Than Fiction to find the last time the 53 year-old appeared in a movie that didn’t rely on his usual shtick. That being said, people clearly still enjoy Ferrell’s brand of humor based on how long Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga spent hanging around Netflix’s Top 10 most-watched list when it debuted earlier this year.

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story Of Fire Saga

Using a very niche musical competition as the inspiration for a broad Hollywood comedy, The Story of Fire Saga was admittedly one of the actor’s better star vehicles in recent times, featuring plenty of memorable tunes and winning performances from the ensemble cast. The streaming service have never revealed official viewing figures for it, but it must have pulled in some big numbers because we’ve now heard that a sequel is in the works.

According to intel – which comes from the same sources that told us Netflix were developing both an Extraction follow-up and a Witcher prequel before either was announced – the next film in the series will focus on another Eurovision Song Contest, but further details beyond that remain vague.

Of course, comedy sequels are arguably the hardest kind to pull off, and there needs to be a great idea at the center of the story for them to work. As such, let’s hope that Eurovision Song Contest 2 doesn’t just plan to rehash the exact same concept and offer up nothing fresh or different.

CYPRUS 🇨🇾 Besides the Orthodox Christian Communities reaction against the 2021 Eurovision entry of Cyprus, today 1981 and 1987 Eurovision entrant Alexia Vassiliou spoke against the national broadcaster and Elena Tsagrinou. In a live session accompanied by a post, Alexia condemns CyBC for choosing a non-Cypriot to represent the island of Aphrodite in Eurovision 2021, wondering why so many Cypriots talents are excluded from the procedure. 4 0

AUSTRIA 🇦🇹 It has been confirmed that Vincent Bueno will sing the song AMEN in Rotterdam. The song is penned by Jonas Thander (also the producer of the song), Bright Sparks, Vincent Bueno, Pele Loriano and Tobias Carshey. We will listen to the song in the second week of March. 4 0
CYPRUS 🇨🇾 CYPRUS - RIK has been receiving threats over the phone for the last few hours. Unknown people threaten to set fire and burn the building of the State Channel, thus mobilizing the Police. The motivation of the unknown seems to be the choice of the song which will represent Cyprus in this year's Eurovision. What bothers them seems to be the title of the song "EL DIABLO" which means devil. In fact, a page has been created on social media that collects signatures so that this song does not represent us in the international music competition this year. Yesterday, a petition was launched for CyBC to withdraw the song from the contest. At the time of writing it has 2,400 signatures. 4 0
EUROVISION 2021 🇳🇱 Studio VollaersZwart, Mothership, Arttenders, Stichting Hip Hop In Je Smoel and Flowerdales Agency will be responsible for the city decoration regarding Eurovision 2021. Furthermore, according to her, the decoration can be seen in a “digital way”. And, hopefully, if there is a good evolution of the pandemic, more and more visibility will be expressed. 5 0
