Vince Vaughn Says Studios ‘Overthink’ R-Rated Comedies: No One Is ‘Pushing the Envelope’ Anymore

Vince Vaughn explained why studios don't 'push the envelope' with R-rated comedies anymore.

The actor — who has appeared in iconic original films such as “Wedding Crashers,” “Old School,” and “Swingers” — explained why there is a lack of modern R-rated comedies in theaters. The 2005 film also starred Bradley Cooper, Isla Fisher, Christopher Walken, Rachel McAdams, Jane Seymour, and Will Ferrell. “[‘Anchorman’] was such a hard movie to get made in the first place and when it finally came around to when, ‘Oh wait, now Dreamworks wants to make it,’ it just felt like we were playing with the house’s money,” Ferrell said during former co-star Christina Applegate’s “Messy” podcast for the film’s 20th anniversary.
