Vince Vaughn signs on for Starsky and Hutch

[Guest Mik at Cornell]

When the big screen version of "Starsky and Hutch" first started gearing up, Vince Vaughn was one of the actors rumored to be playing the role made famous by David Soul. It will be Owen Wilson who will play against Ben Stiller's Starksy. Director Todd Phillips must have had a good time working with Vaughn on "Old School," as the two will team again when shooting begins April 9.

 

The storyline provided by recent casting calls say "Bay City cops Starsky and Hutch have contrasting styles that prove to be an unbeatable combination when they are partnered in a murder investigation that leads them to uncover a major drug operation by innovative entrepreneur Reese Feldman." It is this role of Feldman which Vaughn recently signed on for, and it appears Vaughn will have plenty of fun with the role. Reese is described as “a lanky and funny badass", a Harvard grad who heads an on-campus drug operation. Reese owns an investment company which is a front for a nefarious cocaine operation, and will do anything to protect his investment - including commit murder. In addition to a wife and a twelve year old daughter, Reese will also have a young and sexy Asain mistress who helps with his drug operations.

 

Warner Brothers and Dimension Films have teamed up to bring this high-budget, high-concept idea to life. Look for the film to hit theatres sometime in Spring 2004.

 

 

OK...Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Snoop Dogg, and Owen Wilson...is this not going to be the greatest movie ever? They have to seriously put out the shittiest script ever for this not to rock.

This might be one of the view times that the movie is better than the actual show.
