Vince Vaughn is returning for a DODGEBALL sequel!

A few months ago we learned from Justin Long That Vince Vaughn came up with a fun idea for a sequel to Dodgeball: A True Story of Underdogs. Vaughn later offered an update on the project himself, saying, “They’ve been talking about this stuff forever and I had a fun idea and the studio likes it, so we’ll see where that goes.”

Well, it has just been announced that a dodgeball the sequel is moving forward at 20th Century Studios and Vince Vaughn is confirmed to reprise his role. So, he’d better dust off the five D’s of dodgeball, “dodge, duck, dive, dive, and dodge.”

Giordano Van Dina (The binge) is writing the film’s screenplay from an idea by Vaughn. Speaking previously of the sequel, Vaughn indicated A Christmas Story Christmaswhich was the A Christmas story sequel that he recently produced as an example of making a sequel right that isn’t just a re-imagining of the original. He said:

“You should just make sure that going into Dodgeball feels like a nice continuation and a story that can stand on its own. I think for all of us if it feels right and it’s fun, it would be something to go back to, and if it’s not, it’s just another idea getting kicked.

The original film followed Peter La Fleur (Vaughn), owner of Average Joe’s Gym, a small and seedy, but beloved local hangout frequented by a group of misfits. To save the gym from being acquired by Globo Gym, a corporate fitness chain operated by White Goodman (Ben Stiller), Peter and his friends enter a dodgeball tournament in Las Vegas with a $50,000 grand prize.

It would be great if the producers could get the entire original cast back! I loved the first movie because it was so damn funny! I hope this sequel is just as ridiculous and funny. Stiller has to come back!

You are thrilled to hear that dodgeball will it have a sequel!?
