I think in the beginning of the sequel, it's ten years later and both Derek and Hansel have long been forgotten by everyone. Nobody remembers who they are anymore and they have to work on reinventing themselves in order to make a comeback." Stiller said during an interview with MTV.

The first Zoolander film was released in September 28, 2001 and earned $60 million worldwide, which was more than the films budget of $28 million, it was released with the tagline 3% Body Fat. 1% Brain Activity.
