In perhaps the least surprising casting of the week,
Jason Bateman is set to play the straight man in the latest
Vince Vaughn bromance comedy
Insane Laws at Universal, according to
Deadline. The movie tells the story of two best friends and how their lives are impacted when their grown children fall in love, with one mans daughter becoming pregnant by his best friends son. Vaughn as a hyper-male, quippy loser (presumably) will play the father to the pregnant daughter and Bateman (presumably) as the neurotic wise-ass, will play the other friend. Basically they have been playing these roles and doing these movies for the past six years and one day in the future you are going to struggle to differentiate one film title from the other. The film was written by
Jeremy Garelick, the screenwriter of one of Vaughn's better vehicles
The Break-Up who will be making his directorial debut here.
Neal Mortizs
Original Film banner produces and the movie will shoot in the fall.
