Sometime in 2020, Vince Vaughn will appear in a party-hard teen comedy that, at least on paper, looks to be very much in the funny man's comedic wheelhouse. The name of the movie is The Binge, and if you can believe it, it actually might have more in common with the politically charged 2013 horror flick The Purge than it does with any of Vaughn's past comedic confections. How so? The Binge is set in a not-too-distant version of America where all drugs and alcohol have been outlawed by the government. However, in true Purge fashion, drugs and alcohol are all totally legal for the 18-and-above population for one day every year — the aptly titled "Binge Day."
The Binge follows the travails of three teens who have just turned 18, and are bent on doing their first Binge Day the right way by indulging in everything they can, so fans shouldn't expect Vaughn's character to be the one going full Old School and throwing the party of the century.
While Vaughn's exact role in The Binge isn't known as of January 2020, we'd imagine he's either playing a concerned parent or an out-of-control adult guiding the young men on their Binge Day odyssey. Either way, The Binge director Jeremy Garelick is already reassuring audiences that Vince Vaughn is in top form in the film: "VV fans who have been waiting to laugh again, I promise you — he's back."
