Vince Vaughn Gets His "Claus" Into a New Holiday Comedy
According to Variety, funny guy Vince Vaughn will star in a new holiday comedy entitled "Fred Claus," a project that'll reunite him with his "Clay Pigeons" and "Wedding Crashers" director David Dobkin.
"The "Wedding Crashers" team of Vince Vaughn and director David Dobkin are at the altar for "Fred Claus," a Warner Bros. holiday comedy about Santa's loser brother.
While negotiations are just beginning, deal should see Vaughn cement his status as a comedy-carrying star by reaching the $20 million salary mark for the first time. Dan Fogelman wrote the script and Dobkin is producing with Jessie Nelson.
Comedy revolves around Santa's black-sheep brother, who heads back to the North Pole and gets a chance to redeem himself."

on Feb 28 2006 01:07 AM i honestly thought wedding crashers was going to be awful, and then i left the theatre in tears for the first time in a long time. now, this sounds awful. let me say i hated elf, and i can't help but think will ferrel will make a 'hilarious' cameo as his elf character somewhere, and the whole thing makes me feel sick. but then again, i thought wedding crashers was going to be a one trick pony with few laughs... i'll see it, but i really do wish this wasn't something he was working on. me love vince vaughn!
