i just heard on MTV that there will be no sequel they said that vince told mtv news that they decided not to do it.

i'll find the article on mtv.com and post it here sometime later today...

[letters2dorian]

ok, i actually just found it (i didn't think i'd find it this fast)

from mtv.com:

"No, I don't think it's going to happen," said Vince Vaughn last week, officially squashing the hopes of those who long to see Frank the Tank run naked again. Rumors have depicted an "Old School 2" script as being in different stages of development ever since the success of the 2003 frat comedy, but the star insists that the project is dead. "There have been plans that I've heard talked about," Vaughn conceded, "but nothing for sure."

Wasn't there some kind of argument going on between Todd Phillips and the studio? I remember reading something about Todd being ticked off about the promotion of Eurotrip? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? I thought that that was what the snag was all about.

Yep Beth, you're right. I remembered reading same thing about Eurotrip.


Here's an excerpt from an interview with the director, Todd Phillips (who also directed Starsky & Hutch):

What about Old School 2?
No, we’re not going to do Old School 2.

Why not?
I had a little falling-out with Dreamworks off of this movie Eurotrip. I felt like they really marketed it off of my two movies, even though I had nothing to do with it and it just looked like the worst movie ever. But somehow I got dragged into it and it made me crazy. And I said, “If you do this, I won’t do Old School 2.” And they said, “Well, this is business. We’ve got to worry about this movie right now.”

It actually has pretty much the exact same plot as Road Trip. I was going to ask how you felt about that?
I don’t even want to talk about it. I didn’t see it, I won’t see it and it kind of pissed me off. So, that’s why I won’t do business with them. It’s a bummer.

Here's a link to the entire article:

Thanks Ozarka. I knew I'd read it somewhere. It's good to know I'm not crazy-well, not too crazy. That's a shame about no Old School 2-I remember Todd being pretty angry about it and this article definitely makes him sound pretty ticked off about the whole thing-I don't blame him.

Oh, I totally agree. I love the scene in the kitchen with Mitch and Nicole. I also love the scene with Luke holding Max's hand at the birthday party. There's just something about a sexy man and a child!


You are so right! There is something so sexy about a man with a kid. I think it's just the fact that we're imagining him with OUR kid. I know I wouldn't mind seeing that!! Him, holding our kid, while he/she sleeps on his chest.....

Poor Luke all groggy. This is from a University journalist student -- with the obligatory jaded, unimpressed with everything -- style of writing.

Dream Work: L&A attends the Old School press junket in L.A.
By Hunter Stephenson
Published: Friday, February 7, 2003

DreamWorks paid for Life & Art to attend a press screening and junket in Los Angeles for Old School starring Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson. The film, an "obscene" college comedy in the vein of PCU and National Lampoon's Van Wilder, consists of two large laughs, boring romantic subplots, and nude scenes with Will Ferrell's pasty ass and four breasts. Director Todd Phillips, who also made 2000's similar, funnier Road Trip, does not take full advantage of the R-rating, and cameos by Craig Kilborn and Snoop Dogg (milking it) deflate quickly.

Yet, prepare to have this film channeled casually into your daily life when it inevitably pops up on Comedy Central in full rotation mode for the next five years. Upon the 400th missed-an-hour-what-the-hell viewing, any pre-exisiting edge of mediocrity will be worn down into a comforting nub of summer lethargy. By then Ferrell will surely be light years beyond Chevy Chase.

Back in L.A., the director and stars of Old School spoke at a press conference at the Century Plaza Hotel, right down the street from the Park Hyatt Los Angeles, where select college journalists spent the weekend congregating, emptying hotel room mini bars, and staring at the studio-laden horizon in awe from our hotel's scenic balconies.

At the conference, Ferrell, Vaughn, and a somewhat disoriented Wilson, sat down at a table in front of thirty or so journalists. Ferrell chuckled about doing press on each floor of the hotel, while Vaughn, hotel policy be damned, lit up five cigarettes (at least) in the course of 40 minutes; based on the conference, Vaughn is blessed with an admirably cocky attitude. Wilson sat there in a daze with his mouth partially open, focusing periodically to answer ill-fitting questions like, "How did you prepare for this role." His answer, "For this type of movie, I really didn't need to."

Ferrell, who belonged to a frat at the University of Southern California, eased some tension in the room by delighting in a few of his collegiate experiences.

"I would find out what classes certain friends were in and dress up like a janitor, go into their class and just stand there...and I also killed someone," he laughed.

After the Q&A, the three actors left the room quickly, hindering any chance for a photo opportunity. When I alerted DreamWorks employees that no one got off a decent shot, they scheduled a meeting with the talent later that day. Soon after Chris Rock answered questions about his much-awaited rehash of Eddie Murphy's The Distinguished Gentleman, Head of State, for which attending press was shown only a trailer (complete with a Snoop Dogg "fo shizzle" reference), it was time for a photo session with the Old Schoolers.

In the lowest level of the hotel, a television special for the film was
being prepared, possibly for MTV. An elaborate, brightly lit set assuming the look of a wild college dorm: popcorn on the floor, foose ball table, worn-in couch, red cups, took up a quarter of the room, surrounded by cameras, various suits and casually dressed cameramen. The photo situation was explained to the three actors, and each complied by walking over to the couch and sitting on an armrest. Cameras pointed, they smiled sarcastically and flashes started going off.

"How does it feel, does it feel good?" asked Ferrell in a half-joking been-there-done-that tone of voice.

Hollywood is, not surprisingly, a world operating on a seperate axis. When I returned to Miami on the redeye, I felt like a paparazzo, like a PR spindle gone awry. Nothing in life is free.

I love this description of them. Sounds like 3 guys who are sick to death of promoting their film and answering the same questions over and over again but know that they have to do it anyway......
Thanks Librarian!
