It’s a bold strategy, let’s see if it pays off for them. Yep, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story – the 2004 cult comedy classic starring Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn as warring gym owners – is getting a sequel.
Deadline reports that Vince Vaughn is attached to star in the release, which is currently undated and untitled. It’s set to “continue the story of Vaughn’s prize-winning gym owner”, with The Binge’s Jordan VanDina penning the script – based on an idea from Vaughn.
Long told ComicBook.com: "I think Ben is a little… trepidatious about doing a sequel to something so beloved, something that people enjoy so much."
"Vince is a very convincing person, so I'm just hoping Vince can convince him with his idea," he continued. "It's a funny idea, I don't wanna say what it is. I know Ben loves Dodgeball and loves that character. I remember how much fun he had playing it. He was always laughing."
Average Joe’s, then, could face another dodgeball-shaped dilemma. If that’s the case, we might need to brush up on our five Ds (dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge, in case you had forgotten).
