Paramount Pictures, a division of Viacom, Inc., announced that Vince Vaughn has been cast in the comedy “Daddy’s Home,” directed by Etan Cohen and starring Will Ferrell. The film is set to begin production in early fall 2013, Deadline said.
The film, written by Brian Burns and Adam McKay & Chris Henchy and Cohen, is the story of a mild-mannered radio executive (Ferrell) who strives to become the best stepdad ever to his wife’s two children, but complications ensue when their freewheeling, freeloading real father (Vaughn) arrives, forcing stepdad to compete for the affection of the kids.
