Before my time, but I've seen reruns on Me-TV and what not.

 

[Boom]

My dad is going to hit the roof when he hears about this.

 

[Sawyer]

Let's just hope they don't "Starsky and Hutch" this....

 

[Eddie Dean]

Blech.

 

[Sawyer]

He's been in a few ****ty movies, but I find Vince Vaughn fairly likable. At the very least, they didn't cast someone I absolutely loath.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Just kick me in the nuts right now and get it overwith.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Admittedly, I am intrigued.

 

[Dave McFly]

all I can say is it BETTER have the theme song:

God this does not sound appealing at all.

Yeah, you got it: It's 'DAD material'.

I never thought I'd see the day to see The Rockford Files coming to the big screen. I never cared for it on tv & won't now.

 

[<(o_o)>]

Maybe James Garner can play Vince's father in the movie as an homage to the tv series or maybe he would be turned off to the whole idea either way.

 

[Doctor Jones]

The Lost World he was pretty damn good in if we're talking about serious stuff he's done. Hell, that was my first movie with Vaughn. I didn't know it was him until I discovered him in comedies.

 

[cherokeesam]

I can see Vaughn as Rockford. Good fit.
And Rockford never took itself as seriously as Starsky & Hutch did, so when Stiller & Wilson did their parody, it came off as over-the-top. With the Rockford Files, it's hard to parody a series that relied heavily on wry humor in the first place.

I'm tagging this one, and keeping an eye on it. Hope to hell they keep the gold Firebird....that car is an icon.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Clearly this is going to be a straight comedy and I have no faith in it now that VV has signed on. He's been making ****** movies forever and I have no good will left for him.

 

[Daniel Thompson]

Let's just hope they don't "Starsky and Hutch" this....

With VV starring you know this is going to be a comedy film.

 

[Rowsdower!]

This summer...

The televisions show that put you to sleep 35 years ago...

Becomes the laugh-out-loud dick joke comedy of the year!

Bite your tongue.

 

[MadVillainy]

I liked him in a bunch of movies. He's at his funniest when hes the sarcastic, always talking a**hole like in Old School and Wedding Crashers

Hope this turns out good

I gotta stand up for Vince here. He doesn't always make gold but I enjoy the hell out of some of his movies and Rockford Files was great( i own most of the seasons). Jim Rockford wasn't a pretty boy who always come out bright and shiny. He was rough around the edges with a dry sense of humor and walked away with more bruises than anything. Vaughn can play that with ease. Vince seems to be only remembered for his comedic performances when there is more to him than that.

The Lost World
A cool Dry Place
Return to Paradise
The Cell
The Prime Gig
Domestic Disturbance
South of Heaven west of Hell

Vaughn is a good actor, people jus seem to forget that.

He has a good look for the role also. Garner was a big guy too. Vince jus needs to drop a few pounds...he has put some weight on

Now we need to see Owen Wilson and Chloe Moretz in Barnaby Jones! t:

Or Kevin James in Cannon.

Danny McBride in Columbo...

Nick Offerman in Mike Hammer...

Rob Scheider in Baretta

Will Ferrell in McCloud...

The possibilities are endless.

This Fall...Emily Blunt in 'Murder, She Wrote'

This Summer...John Cena is Matlock.

This Summer...John Cena is Matlock.

Actually, it makes sense: when John Cena goes "you can't see me," it'll be because most of the audience has cataracts.
