Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson made a surprise appearance at the Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday, March 10. The two announced that the sequel to their 2001 comedy "Zoolander" would be released in North America starting February 12, 2016.
Before reprising their roles as models Derek and Hansel, they honed their modeling skills and strutted their stuff at the Valentino showcase. "Apparently Derek and Hansel have come to terms on #Zoolander2 ??" Stiller wrote on Instagram along with a picture.
"Derek wears a custom Night Butterflies brocade suit with hand-embroidered overcoat and black Creeper shoes," the fashion line explained the actors' outfits on Instagram. "Hansel wears a Silk Continent print Pajama suit with Double Cashmere overcoat."
Stiller and Wilson also posed for a picture with Vogue's editor Anna Wintour backstage. "Speak no evil. See no evil. Hear no evil. Derek #Zoolander and #Hansel are back!" the magazine captioned the trio's photo. It's unclear if any of the scenes will appear in the upcoming film.
"Zoolander 2" will also see Will Ferrell returning as the evil fashion mogul Mugatu. Justin Theroux who wrote the first film is expected to handle the script again and is rumored to direct the sequel. Penelope Cruz is reported to join the cast ensemble.
The plot is unclear, but Stiller once said, "In the fashion world, if you go away for a year, it's changed - it just happens so quickly. I think the idea in the beginning of the movie is that it's 10 years later, and Derek and Hansel are literally forgotten. Nobody remembers who they are, so they have to reinvent themselves."
