Ron Howard Directing Infidelity Comedy with Vince Vaughn

Like most comedic stars, audiences will eventually wan of their "shtick" for whatever new thing feels fresh. Although creatively dead (for my money), that has yet to take place for Vince Vaughn.

People are still eating his "jabbering but lovable wise guy" routine with recent sizeable hits like Four Christmases and Couples Retreat. I won’t take a shit on The Break-Up because I thought that actually worked – guess there’s no accounting for taste.

The trades report that Vaughn will once again headline a comedy. This latest one will be directed by Ron Howard. What the Hell? Isn’t he too busy with bad Oscar bait or bad tentpole like Angels & Demons?

The as yet untitled comedy will center around "the fallout surrounding infidelity between lovers and friends" and is based on an idea from Howard’s producing partner (and hetero life mate) Brian Grazer. Eh, that doesn’t sound too awesome. On the other hand, the actual writing duties have fallen upon Allan Loeb (whose most recent credit is Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps – a script that is apparently damn good according to Latino Review).

And the official countdown begins until Vaughn’s own hetero life mate Jon Favreau joins the production.
