Vince Vaughn has a fairly busy schedule – with less than a month to go before
The Internship release, he signed on to the
Etan Cohen film,
Daddy's Home.
The new comedy that already has
Will Ferrell attached to star will be Cohen's directorial debut. Etan, not Oscar-winning dark comedy filmmaker Ethan Cohen, screenwriting credits include
Idiocracy, Tropic Thunder, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, and, most recently,
Men in Black 3.
Therefore, Vaughn is set to join
Old School co-star Ferrell (also great comedic rivals in
Anchorman) in the Paramount comedy, which Ferrell's producing with frequent collaborator
Adam McKay. Nice.
Besides, Cohen, McKay,
Brian Burns (Entourage), and
Chris Henchy (The Campaign) are writing the script which revolves around a ‘mild mannered radio exec, played by Ferrell, whose life gets chaotic when his wife's ex-husband, played by Vaughn, arrives, forcing stepdad to compete for the affection of the kids.'
The idea is for Vaughn to do this film before taking
Business Trip with New Regency. He signed on to the jet-setting comedy (described as being in the same vein as
Planes, Trains & Automobiles) last month.
This all sounds like
Daddy's Home will start shortly, so expect this sometime in 2014.
