00:00How have you seen Hollywood's interest in making those kinds of films change over the course of

00:05your career and what do you think are the forces at play? Well they just overthink it. Vince Vaughn

00:09is getting candid about why the type of R-rated movies he's been known for are no longer being

00:14made. The actor rose to fame in the late 90s and early 2000s with his hard R-rated movies

00:19such as Wedding Crashers, Old School and Swingers. But he recently shared on Hot Ones why he thinks

00:25those films are not being made in this day and age saying movie execs are overthinking it.

00:30It gets crazy. You get these rules. It's like if you did geometry and you said 87 degrees was a

00:36right angle then all your answers are messed up instead of 90 degrees. He noted so there became

00:41some idea or concept like they would say something like you have to have an IP. The star proceeded to

00:46use the board game Battleship as an example saying the IP became a vehicle for storytelling just

00:52because it had a recognizable name. Whereas like an IP like John Hughes from our neck of the woods

00:56right? An IP was a girl's turning 16 like every girl turns 16 or I'm gonna cut school. You know life

01:03situations or old school. What if I got to go back and you know be in a fraternity now at this stage

01:09of the game? He continued they want to kind of follow a set of rules that somehow get set in stone

01:14that don't really translate but as long as they follow them they're not going to lose their jobs

01:18because they can say well look I made a movie off the board game payday so even though the movie

01:22didn't work you can't let me go right? But the actor still has hope for the future and predicted

01:27that audiences would see more films similar to his R-rated comedies again. People want to laugh

01:33people people want to look at stuff that feels a little bit like it's you know dangerous or pushing

01:38the envelope and I think you're going to see more of it in the film space sooner than later would be

01:43my guess. For more on this story head to THR.com and for the latest entertainment news and updates keep
