\"Dodgeball\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn could be heading back to the Dodgeball arena. Stiller’s production company Red Hour has hired Clay Tarver to start work developing a screenplay for a sequel to Stiller and Vaughn’s 2004 comedy Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There had been some talk over the years since the film’s initial release of a possible sequel and since Dodgeball earned $114 million at the domestic box office against a budget of $20 million I had expected them to get around to moving on a follow-up long before now.<\/p>\n

Although their characters were rivals in the original film, the Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a> states “the sequel will focus on Vaughn and Stiller forced to team up to fight an even bigger threat.”<\/p>\n

If Traver’s name is unfamiliar, you’re not alone. Not many people saw the 2001 thriller Joy Ride<\/strong> which he co-wrote with J.J. Abrams. More recently, though, he has been working in comedy on such projects as Men Making Music<\/strong>, about the world of competitive barbershop quartets, and with Mike Judge on a satire about hunting, Meat in the Freezer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Stiller and Vaughn may be returning for another championship match-up.<\/div>\n
