#Blades Of Glory 2 Was Discussed, Here’s Why It Didn’t Happen [Exclusive]

“Blades of Glory” was met with solid reviews and delivered big time financially, taking in $145 million at the box office and an estimated $49 million in home video sales domestically. It’s no wonder a sequel would at least be in the conversation. But even looking at Ferrell’s own career, comedy sequels are tough. “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues” couldn’t quite live up to the original, and the less said about “Zoolander 2” the better.

Ferrell is pretty discerning in this area, as he recently revealed that he turned down a boatload of cash to star in “Elf 2.” Again, he wanted to protect the integrity of what came before. Sequels are risky and, from a financial standpoint, they can be especially volatile. But that isn’t going to prevent anyone from trying, as “Wedding Crashers 2” was a hair away from filming recently before scheduling conflicts got in the way. Just don’t expect Jimmy MacElroy and Chazz Michael Michaels to be suiting back up any time soon.
