As someone who grew up watching Vince Vaughn bring laughter to our lives with his iconic R-rated comedies like “Swingers,” “Old School,” and “Wedding Crashers,” I wholeheartedly agree with his sentiments about Hollywood’s current cautious approach towards financing such films. It seems as though the industry is so preoccupied with following rules and not rocking the boat that they’ve forgotten the magic of shared life experiences turning into hilarious stories on the big screen.
Vince Vaughn feels today’s movie executives are overly careful about funding the kind of R-rated comedies that kickstarted his acting career, as he sees it.
As a movie connoisseur, I recently sat down with Vaughn for a chat on “Hot Ones,” and he opened up about the dwindling popularity of bawdy, R-rated comedies – a genre he’s become synonymous with through hits like “Swingers,” “Old School,” and “Wedding Crashers.”
Vaughn explained, “They’re dwelling excessively on it.” He added, “It’s bizarre how they cling to these guidelines, for instance, if you were doing geometry and insisted that 87 degrees was a right angle, your results would be skewed. Instead of using 90 degrees. So, they seem to have developed this notion or understanding, like saying ‘You need an IP’.”
Vaughn illustrated Battleship, a board game known from the 2012 movie of the same title, as an instance where Hollywood transformed an Intellectual Property (IP) into a ‘storytelling tool’ due to its familiar name. However, in his early career, the IP he encountered were personal experiences like growing up and skipping school, which he would later transform into stories.
Vaughn stated that those in authority prioritize avoiding termination over innovation. Consequently, they prefer to adhere to established guidelines, which, however rigid, often lack adaptability. As long as they stick to these rules, their jobs are secure because they can argue, “I made a movie based on the board game Payday, even though the film wasn’t successful, you can’t dismiss me, can you?”
However, Vaughn remains optimistic that adult-oriented comedies akin to those from the ’90s and the early 2000s might make a comeback on the silver screen.
“There’s a desire for amusement and an attraction towards content that carries a hint of risk or ventures beyond boundaries,” he explained. “I believe we’ll witness more of this trend in the cinematic world quite soon.”
