Old School - A Fight Club RemakeThe Story You Know:
Vince Vaughn and Frank "the Tank" Ferrell found a fraternity to cheer up Luke Wilson after the poor sap catches his girlfriend mid-gangbang. We're talking Godfather-esque storytelling here, people.
Either Juliette Lewis, or a high end blow-up doll.
What Inspired It:
According to Old School writer/director Todd Phillips...
This guy.
...it's a comedic retelling of Fight Club. He mentions it in the DVD commentary.
If you watch the movie with that in mind, you realize the scripts follow each other so closely that it's amazing 20th Century Fox didn't force Todd to offer Chuck Palahniuk or David Fincher joint writing credit. Luke Wilson's Mitch is Edward Norton, and Vince Vaughn's Beanie is Tyler Durden. Some of the segments Phillips highlighted both in the commentary and the movie:
"The whole idea of starting some kind of male organization."
