Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau, Jason Bateman and Faizon Love (cool name!) have signed on to star in Peter Billingsley’s comedy “Couples Retreat,” according to Variety.
Written by Favreau, the plot follows four couples who spend some time at a tropical island resort. Although one of them is there to work on their damaged marriage, the other couples soon discover that participation in the resort’s couple therapy program is mandatory.
As the trade reports, Vaughn apparently came up with the idea for the flick. He did that before for 2006’s disastrous comedy “The Break-Up.” Let’s just hope Favreau’s screenplay has got what it takes to deliver some laughs.
Favreau and Vaughn can next be seen together in Seth Gordon’s “Four Christmases,” which also stars Reese Witherspoon and Robert Duvall. Following “Retreat,” Favreau will launch into the development of the anticipated “Iron Man” sequel.
Bateman recently starred in Peter Berg’s “Hancock.
