Ben Stiller has confirmed that work on a sequel to Zoolander is now underway.

The Little Fockers star has kept relatively quiet about the potential film, but has now confirmed that he and Justin Theroux recently completed a draft of its script.

"It's ten years later and most of it is set in Europe," Stiller told Empire magazine. "It's basically Derek and Hansel ten years later.

"Though the last movie ended on a happy note a lot of things have happened in the meantime," Stiller added. "Their lives have changed and they're not really relevant anymore."

He also confirmed that the script does include Will Ferrell's character from the original 2001 film.

There has been no official announcement on when production on Zoolander 2 may begin.
