Vaughn, Witherspoon set for comedy

Variety
Duo set for New Line's 'Four Christmases'

By DAVE MCNARY

Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon will star in New Line's holiday comedy "Four Christmases," set up at Spyglass with Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum and Jonathan Glickman producing.

Vaughn and Witherspoon are also producing the pic, in which a couple visit their four divorced parents on Christmas Day. Script's penned by the writing team of Matt Allen & Caleb Wilson.

New Line execs are meeting with directors and eying a late fall start of production - presumably with aim of getting "Four Christmases" into theaters during next year's holiday season.

Project brings Vaughn following the break-out success of 2005's "Wedding Crashers." Witherspoon, who won the Best Actress Oscar for "Walk the Line" this year, recently wrapped on political thriller "Rendition" opposite Jake Gyllenhaal and set for an October release.

Vaughn will next be seen in Warner's holiday comedy "Fred Claus" and next year's Picturehouse release "Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days and 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland."
