Vince Vaughn to star in "Insane Laws" for Universal (Reuters)

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Universal Pictures is in negotiations to pick up "The Insane Laws," a relationship comedy that will act as a starring vehicle for Vince Vaughn, who is based at the studio with his Wild West Picture Show production company.

Jeremy Garelick wrote the script and will direct the project, which would reteam Vaughn with the man who co-wrote his 2006 hit, "The Break-Up."

Based a bit on Garelick's own life, "Insane Laws" focuses on two best friends and how their lives are impacted when their grown children fall in love, with one man's daughter becoming pregnant by his best friend's son.

Originally, Columbia Pictures picked up the script in a hefty seven-figure deal in 2009, with Garelick on board to make his directorial debut.

Vaughn is coming off his latest relationship pic, "The Dilemma."

Garelick broke into the business as an assistant to Joel Shumacher before going to make a name for himself in the writing world.
