"Wedding Crashers" and "Anchorman" star Vince Vaughn showed up during the big game alongside two of the greatest sports legends of all time: Tom Brady and Wayne Gretzky. The former Patriots quarterback and NHL hockey legend were seen alongside Vaughn in a BetMGM ad, which aired during this year's Super Bowl between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs. While the Chiefs won the game, the commercial was also a winner. But how is it that this became Vaughn's first Super Bowl commercial during his long career that spans more than three decades?

Vaughn recently spoke with Variety about the ad. The ad shows the actor — who is looking like his "Swingers" self in Las Vegas — telling the world at large that BetMGM is for everyone ... except Tom Brady. Why? Because the seven-time Super Bowl champion has won enough. Speaking with the outlet about why he decided to...

After swatting back the Covid-19 scourge to some extent, Puerto Rico opened its ports in June 2020. With the year-long curfew lifted in May this year, it’s been business as usual on this Caribbean island of roughly 3,500 square miles.

The capital of San Juan held its first live audience concert on June 26, 2021 with salsa icon Gilberto Santa Rosa playing to thousands at the Puerto Rico Convention Center for the first time since the pandemic closed it down. According to Asm Global regional manager Jorge Perez, 15 other concerts have been announced, with 10 already sold out.

International acts are also coming in as most U.S. mainland venues remain closed. Plunging cases and a relatively high vaccination rate (up to 70%) has brought some semblance of normality and a growing number of location shoots to the U.S. territory, albeit with health and safety protocols still in place.

Just ask Bruce Willis who...

This was later corroborated by other outlets that said the sequel seemed like it was definitely happening.

Wedding Crashers was a huge hit upon its release back in 2005, and since then, fans have been wondering when John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Grey (Vince Vaughn) would be back for more shenanigans. The most recent rumour regarding their return stated that production on Wedding Crashers 2 would begin this August, but Owen Wilson seemed to squash that rumour while speaking with…...

Comedy sequels are arguably the most difficult type of follow-up to pull off, and the risk level increases the longer the gap since the first movie. Action and thriller franchises are almost expected to rehash the same plot and character beats over and over again, whereas a series designed entirely to generate laughs from the audience can’t exactly deliver the same joke a handful of times and expect it to remain fresh.

For every 22 Jump Street, Bill & Ted Face the Music or Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm, there’s a Dumb and Dumber To, Zoolander 2 or Son of the Mask at the other end of the scale, and as the years pass, it becomes more and more difficult to justify the existence of a long-delayed sequel to an established comedy hit.

That hasn’t stopped Vince Vaughn from confirming that he’s held talks with co-star Owen Wilson...

What would a Wedding Crashers 2 look like? E! News co-host Scott Tweedie made sure to ask all about the potential sequel during his exclusive chat with Wedding Crashers alums Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams. While Tweedie was eager for details about the Wedding Crashers follow-up film, the two actors—who have reunited for a new Netflix movie, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga—stayed relatively tight-lipped. "Wedding Crashers 2, yeah. I think we can just say it's being written," Ferrell told E! News. As Tweedie joked about potential plot lines, Ferrell jokingly suggested that the sequel should be a drama about the characters' subsequent divorces. "How...

The mid-’00s were a time when R-rated comedies made a huge comeback. One could argue American Pie was the beginning in 1999, but the genre didn’t really find its stride until the middle of the decade. While Judd Apatow is largely responsible for this resurgence thanks to films like The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up and Superbad, Wedding Crashers (which Apatow had nothing to do with) was actually more successful than all of them. It even made more money domestically than Batman Begins in 2005.

15 years later, one wonders why Wedding Crashers 2 was never made to capitalize on that success. Well, according to director David Dobkin, such conversations have been going on for the better part of a decade.

“Everybody keeps hitting me up about a Wedding Crashers sequel. We don’t have a script that we’re there with yet. For many, many years every year I got offered to do the sequel,...

Let me just admit, right here at the start, that I loved Wedding Crashers when it came out in July of 2005. When I saw it, I'd just gone through a terrible breakup, and that summer was a rough one. A buddy of mine suggested we catch Wedding Crashers cause he figured I could use a good laugh. So three of us went and catch it at the College Point Multiplex in Queens...and we laughed. We laughed A Lot.

It was one of those great moviegoing experiences where you and your pals are laughing so hard that you have to try and shush each other because you're missing parts of the movie from laughing so much.

In short, it was just what I needed.

I picked it up on DVD when it came out later that year, and- to this day- I'll always had a soft spot for Wedding Crashers.

New Line confirms follow-up 11 years after the Owen Wilson/Vince Vaughn comedy was released

First there was Zoolander 2, Bad Santa 2, Dumb and Dumber To – not to mention the forthcoming Trainspotting sequel.
