Vaughn brought "The Break-Up" to Universal, nabbing producer credit. The film, in which he co-starred with Jennifer Aniston, grossed more than $118 million in domestic B.O., marking the third straight summer in which Vaughn has been a major player in the feature comedy arena -- this following the success of summer releases "Wedding Crashers" in 2005 and "DodgeBall" in '04.
Coming up, the multihyphenate has a documentary on the recent comedy tour he produced, "Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days and 30 Nights -- Hollywood to the Heartland." The Weinstein Co. plans to release it in 2007. He also shooting the David Dobkin-helmed "Fred Claus" for Warner Bros.
POV: "Vaughn's verbal dexterity remains impressive, and he exhibits genuine pain, as well as flashes of the comedy chops that, arguably, were the strongest element in last summer's hit 'Wedding Crashers,' " noted Variety's review of "The Break-Up."
