Wedding Crashers is one of my favorite comedies of all time. Going back to its release in 2005, the film became a huge hit both critically and commercially as the film made $209.2 million at the domestic box office. Despite all of that success, a sequel never happened, however, things may be changing as director David Dobkin has stated he has an idea that could bring Vaughn and Wilson back. It’s an idea that he has been working on and according to Vince Vaugh, early talks of doing the sequel have begun with Owen Wilson also on board. Vaughn stated,
“Owen [Wilson] and I and the director of Crashers have been talking for the first time seriously [about] a sequel to that movie. So there has been an idea that is pretty good. So we are talking about that in the early stages.”
It was only a few weeks ago that Vaughn opened up about an idea for the sequel that director David Dobkin had shared with him. Vaughn added,
“David Dobkin had a really good idea that’s contemporary. I never went and made a sequel to a lot of these films at the time because it felt like we were just chasing a success. But what I like about where Crashers could potentially be at is [that] there’s something that is of this moment that feels really good… a lot of these comedies, even something like Wedding Crashers, you’re sort of investigating things that I think are real in our lives, but the comedy is an overcommitment to the absurd.”
