This should be interesting (or completely familiar, depending on how they play it): According to Deadline, Vince Vaughn is set to star in a feature adaptation of The Rockford Files , the ’70s-era detective series that starred James Garner as a disheveled Los Angeles private eye. The involvement of scripting duo David Levien and Brian Koppelman ( Rounders , Ocean’s Thirteen , Solitary Man ) is somewhat promising, though Vaughn hasn’t shown any desire to move away from his tired Vince Vaughn shtick of late — and do audiences really want a Vince Vaughn-ified Jim Rockford? Besides, if Steve Carell and David Shore couldn’t make a Rockford reboot work, how will Vaughn & Co. fare? [ Deadline ]
