\"\"<\/a>With his summer hit Tropic Thunder<\/strong> giving him some juice, writer\/actor\/director Ben Stiller is currently looking around for the best way to capitalize on his renewed status as a comedy hitmaker. One possible project he is looking at is a return to a former cinematic creation, the dim-witted fashion model Derek Zoolander.<\/p>\n

As Stiller told the London tabloid The Sun<\/em><\/a>*-<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been trying to get Zoolander 2<\/strong> together and we\u2019ve had a few scripts. I feel that is the sequel I really would like to do some day because I like the original and I would make sure it was something new and worthy of it first.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While I admire Stiller\u2019s desire to return for a second helping of Zoolander<\/strong> and his equally vapid fashion model friends, I am not sure that we will ever see it at the local Cineplex. Personally, I loved the film, especially in that, much like Tropic Thunder<\/strong>, it felt like an idea for his old FOX sketch series, The Ben Stiller Show<\/em>, writ large. But whereas most feature films originating from Saturday Night Live<\/em> alum, this one actually is a strong enough comic idea to support an entire full-length movie.<\/p>\n

But Zoolander<\/strong> didn\u2019t make much of a splash at the boxoffice and I don\u2019t think that it ever caught a second wind on home video. If it had, I\u2019m sure that the studio would have by now released multiple DVD versions, including a 2-disc Special Collector\u2019s Edition followed by a special limited \u201cPose-Off\u201d Box Set Edition.<\/p>\n

I also have to wonder how much further Stiller can stretch his parody of the world of high fashion when a reality show like America\u2019s Next Top Model<\/em> portrays the industry as close to self-parody anyway.<\/p>\n
