Jason Bateman continues bid for ubiquity with Vince Vaughn comedy
Provided the Summer Of Jason Bateman is a success, the actor could build on the momentum of The Change-Up and Horrible Bosses and his growing reputation as the go-to guy for big studio comedies by starring alongside another dude who’s long held that title. Bateman is in negotiations to join his Couples Retreat and The Break-Up co-star Vince Vaughn in Universal’s The Insane Laws, about the criminalization of marijuana—am I right, bros? Or in another, more accurate way, it’s a comedy from Break-Up writer Jeremy Garelick about two lifelong best friends whose kids fall in love at college, with Bateman’s son getting Vaughn’s daughter pregnant.
