Ok, this sounds hillarious…. even if not totally original. Looks like the Wedding Crashers team of director David Dobkin and Vince Vuaghn are teaming up again, this time in a Holliday movie about Santa’s lesser known brother “Fred Clause”.
Yes, it does sound a bit like a Bad Santa rip off… but I don’t care. I think this has “classic” wirtten all over it (It should be pointed out that I’ve said that before and been TOTALLY wrong). Doug once said it best “Vince Vuaghn is Oprah for men, and I’m ready for my dose.
A project like this also really lends itself to the Frat Packs trend of lots of cameos by each other. I suspect we’ll see Wilson brothers, Stiller, Black, Ferrell all in there at some point too. Maybe Ferrell could appear as an elf. Now THERES an idea!
