This one makes me go "damn, I wish I had thought of that." The fact that Vince Vaughn is also attached certainly doesn't hurt.

Re: Fred Claus
How about expanding upon the story, ele?
You'll write a book report about that awful AD, but a real story that we'd like to hear you give one sentence.
Get your priorities straight, boy.

Re: Fred Claus
Jessie Nelson came up with the story and I used to work for her (well, her husband, more specifically). She's not very friendly with computers, so I had to type it up while she dictated the story to me. I remember thinking at the time that it was a pretty good idea. Nice and simple. A good way to look at comedic storytelling.
At the time, it seemed to me that it was going to be a very light, family film in terms of tone. I imagine that all could've changed since a writer was assigned to it. And seeing Dobkin's involvement, I doubt it will be rated G.

Re: Fred Claus
Rave, you're safe
"The "Wedding Crashers" team of Vince Vaughn and director David Dobkin are at the altar for "Fred Claus," a Warner Bros. holiday comedy about Santa's loser brother.
While negotiations are just beginning, deal should see Vaughn cement his status as a comedy-carrying star by reaching the $20 million salary mark for the first time. Dan Fogelman wrote the script and Dobkin is producing with Jessie Nelson.
Comedy revolves around Santa's black-sheep brother, who heads back to the North Pole and gets a chance to redeem himself."

Re: Fred Claus
I hope they have some scenes where Vince/Fred corrupts Santa's elves and tries to seduce Mrs. Claus. If done right, that could be hilarious.

Re: Fred Claus
Not that anybody's asking me for my opinion, but you'd have to go medieval on my ass with a blowtorch before I'd watch this sh!t. Santa's bad brother? Is that really the best comedy idea someone could come up with? Get out of here.
