Vaughn, Clooney battle it out for 'PI' role
Published Thursday, Mar 23 2006, 10:12 GMT | By Fiona Edwards
Vince Vaughn and George Clooney are apparently battling it out for the role of legendary detective Magnum PI.
The up-and-coming film will be based on the hit 80's show starring Tom Selleck and his infamous moustache, and reportedly both Vaughn and Clooney are in the running for the lead role of Magnum himself.
So far George Clooney has been the favourite to take the role, but Vince Vaughn has also been named as a possibility: "The scriptwriter is Rawson Marshall Thurber, who wrote Dodgeball, and there are several other guys on the Magnum movie with connections to Vince," a source close to the project is quoted on Sky Showbiz as saying.
"George is still favourite but, as time goes by, Vince's name will be thrown up more and more."
