Owen Wilson hopeful of good reception for comedy sequel 'Zoolander 2'

Actor Owen Wilson thinks the much-anticipated sequel to 2001 comedy Zoolander will be good and funny.

The 46-year-old actor has already completed filming for the film to him and Ben Stiller's offering and hopes it will live up to people's expectations, reported Contactmusic.

"Beginning with the way they announced Zoolander 2, by having Ben and I walk out in Paris, in character. We weren't quite sure what to expect after 14 years, but we got a pretty rousing reception there that made us wish the movie was coming out that weekend."

"Then we went to Rome and filmed it, and Ben's editing it now. I think it has a chance to be funny and good." Stiller is also directing the film that co-stars Penelope Cruz, Christine Taylor and Kristen Wiig. The film is slated to release on February 12, 2016.
