CS Interview: Justin Theroux and Nicholas Stoller on Zoolander 2 Ben Stiller’s high fashion/low IQ model Derek Zoolander is back on the big screen after nearly 15 years this weekend with the release of Zoolander 2. Although the original Zoolander only performed moderately at the box office in 2001, it has slowly developed a rabid following over the years, and so director/co-writer Stiller was able to lure his original co-stars Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell back, along with a host of other famous cameos. Another famous member from Stiller’s roster of compatriots that came back is Justin Theroux, who played the Evil DJ in the first movie and also co-wrote Tropic Thunder.
