It sounds like 20th Century Fox was pretty darn satisfied with the $166.7 million worldwide gross of Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, which opened in June and stars Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor, and Rip Torn.
A scooper by the name of 'Tacquito' tells ComingSoon that Justin Long, who played Justin in the comedy, says he's hearing a sequel is a go:
I met ED's Justin Long at the Rio Ranch and Conference Centre here in New Mexico last week. He's filming a movie in the area called Dreamland with John Corbett.
Long story Short: We gushed about Dodgeball and he had some good news for fellow fans - the film was a huge hit at cinemas, and the director has been contacted by the studio about doing a sequel sometime this year. Justin said he's yet to be contacted about it, but he's heard third-hand that it'll be 'everyone' back.
That director is Rawson Marshall Thurber, who also wrote the movie. Stay tuned for more possible news on this as it comes in.
