Spoiler alert (from the first movie): It’s been almost 15 years, so if you haven’t seen it by now, I can’t help you.
It’s been a little over 14 years since the original "Zoolander" came out and now after waiting way too long its sequel is set to premiere in theaters on Feb. 12. Derek Zoolander and Hansel are finally making a comeback in the modeling world. I have so many questions that I can’t wait to have answered next weekend, but until then, here are some important things to keep in mind as you prepare to go see the second movie.
The gap of time between the two movies actually makes sense.
Here’s what I mean. Typically, when a movie has an unexpected sequel, the characters in the second movie haven’t changed, but the cast has. This weird change in characters' appearances gives off a whole new vibe. Fortunately, Ben Stiller (Derek Zoolander) and Owen Wilson (Hansel) return to the modeling world in the second film, but this time their characters, like the actors themselves, are older (as they should be).
The first cast was phenomenal, and Paramount Pictures made it happen again.
The main stars of the original Zoolander include Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell, Jerry Stiller and Christine Taylor. The second movie has several returning actors with the addition of Penélope Cruz and Kristen Wiig. Like the first movie, the sequel will have a decent amount of celebrities in it. Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato all make appearances.
Blue steel.
Need I say more? This is the most famous look in entire fashion world. Derek’s other signature looks include Le Tigre and Magnum.
Orange mocha frappuccinos.
Even though a lot of people probably wouldn't dare drink this, I’m honestly surprised that it hasn’t become a drink at Starbucks, yet. Or at least a seasonal drink in honor of the movie.
Derek is a male model who just wants to do good things for the world.
We all know he may not be the smartest, but he agreed to work for Mugatu in the hopes that he would be rewarded with the Derek Zoolander Center For Kids Who Can’t Read Good And Who Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too.
Every once in a while, someone in the movie says something that has (some) meaning.
The first time Derek said, “I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking,” marks the first time we were led to believe that maybe he doesn’t care about only looks.
Derek Zoolander and Matilda Jeffries had a child.
We only see this child as a baby at the end of the movie, so we are left to wonder if he will make an appearance in the second movie. Also, where is Matilda? Why wasn’t she in the previews? So many questions.
