Vaughn, Dobkin in with TOY
January 30th, 2002
MGM is closing a deal to pick up the pitch TOY MEN from actor-producer Vince Vaughn that CLAY PIGEONS helmer David Dobkin will direct. The pitch, which Vaughn delivered to MGM executives last week based on his original idea, is an ensemble project about four hard-driving reps on the road who compete in the no-holds-barred arena of toy sales. When they zero in on a housewife who has come up with what could be a new best seller, one of the reps -- to be played by Vaughn -- brings his 11-year-old daughter to improve his chances to land the account. HIGH FIDELITY scribe Steve Pink is attached to write the screenplay, but there is no deal yet, sources said.
