Well this is news I never thought I would hear. It looks like real life ex-lovers Vince and Jen will be back together in a sequel to The Break Up. We get the scoop from our friends at monsters and critics:
Jennifer Aniston is to earn $20 million for a sequel to ‘The Break-Up’. The former ‘Friends’ actress – who starred alongside Vince Vaughn, who she began dating after falling for him on set, in the 2006 film – is considering starring in a follow up with Vince.
A source said: “Both Jennifer and Vince have been offered the chance to star in the sequel. As Jennifer is now such a huge star, she has been offered $20 million to do the film, while Vince has been offered less. “Both of them are seriously considering it.”
This film had the feel of a one off, and even ended as one. Will this sequel be about the couple getting back together and working everything out? I can only guess at this point but am curious to find out. Do they get married a second time? Is this a second marriage comedy waiting in the weeds?
Worldwide The Break Up made about 205 million dollars. It wasn’t received all that well, the average consensus seemed to be that it was “alright” at best. I’m not sure that a sequel will be a huge hit with the kids. But with an offer of 20 million for Jenny; the studio certainly thinks otherwise.
International Friends – Is this a sequel you care to see?
10 years later and no sequel… do you mind if we mention you on our podcast Cinematically Correct to note that there was a consideration of a sequel?
We would love a sequel to The Breakup where they learn their lessons from their mistakes and make an awesome, realistic relationship. The Breakup forced couples to review their personal philosophies about each other and consider whether playing games with one another is really worth the risk of losing the relationship. WE WANT A SEQUEL!!
The Break Up was a great movie… I can’t wait fot the sequel.. I do think they both should get paid the same as there equally as good at acting..
I would LOVE to see a sequel to this movie. I really enjoyed the first one, and loved the chemistry between the actors. I hope it comes!
I would love to see a sequel to this movie. Jenn and Vince are two of my favorite actors. They seem to work together really well. Oh, and Jenn is a way bigger star!!!!! She played in Friends for ten years. Also, she does have other movies that I think were really good.
my story is totally related to this one.so i m dying to see the sequel.please guys make it fast please!!!!!!!!!!!!111
yhhh a new or follow up to the break up would be a great idea,
id love to see it, the actual break up was amazing.
good idea !!!!
the only way i would watch the most likely shitty sequal to this is if aniston was to getting butt ass naked and reveal all.
@MIKEY
Couldn’t agree with you more, that would be hillarious. But the production cost will be off the chart!!
since Johny Depp can command up to 75 million and Vince maybe around 15-20 mil. It would be the most expensive romantic comedy/drama ever!!
have johnny depp break up with vince vaughn. That would be hilarious
I guess I am missing something here as I thought the original movie “The Breakup” was god awful, I am just asking myself why they would make a sequel?
AND THE 100 Mil!!!!!! D’oh.
What did i learn… READ all post completely before mouthing off…
**slinking…**
And Bobafet beat me to the “agent” idea.
I will slink away now…
BrianG and SilentDaryl i couldnt agree with you guys more… When i read the whole “As Jennifer is now such a huge star, she has been offered $20 million to do the film”… I was like HUH?
The Break up was the ONLY film she was in that made over 100 mil. Actually, i think it was the onl yfilm she was in to make over 50 mil! (Actually… thats a lie, “Bruce Almighty” made some bank…) But i would argue that BOTH of those films were succesful due mostly to the male lead. Vince Vaughn in TBU, and Jim Carrey in BA.
And Vaughn gets less??? He has like 7 100 mil+ films.
If anything Aniston’s popularity was HUGE with friends, but has been going down ever since. Are we sure that this story wasnt put out by Aniston’s publicist (or Mom)???
So – Any takers on Chris Tucker getting 100+ million to star in Rush Hour 4?!?!?!
If she’s getting 20mil there’d better be JenAn boobs and bush in it! (sorry was channelling Knocked Up)
I think this sorry is complete garbage. Methinks, someone’s agent is behind it…Considering no one is knocking down JenAn’s door to do a lot of quality film, I would think she could be had for 5-7m?
But then JDepp is supposedly getting 75m for PotC4…
I wonder what CBale will get for the Darker Knight? 100m?
I don’t really have much to add, but just wanted to clear up that they were not married in the first, just merely living in sin.
Any reason to watch the beautiful Jennifer Aniston is fine by me :p
I liked the break-up. Not the greatest comedy (far from it), but as others have said as a drama (a chick-flick, no less…) it was actually pretty entertaining. I won’t be rushing out to theatres to see it (unless a date drags me there) but I’ll eventually check it out.
Okay, Vince Vaughn is and always will be a bigger star than Jennifer Aniston. Vince Vaughn has headlined Dodgeball, Wedding Crashers, Old School, and Swingers, all of which are far more popular than any movies that Jennifer has starred in (besides Bruce Almighty, which was really more of a Jim Carrey and Morgan Freeman film)
The Break Up is an underrated gem.
If it was from the 70’s it would be considered a classic character study.
The problem was that the trailer sold it as more Vince Vaughan wacky wedding crashers style hijinks when it was actually a rather serious and uncomfortably realistic look at a relationship breaking down.
I fucking love this film.
Where is all of her success coming from anyway? She’s not a great actress, not stunningly attractive, and I mostly see her on the cover of tabloids, being painted as manically depressed over Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. I remember sitting through most of “Bruce Almighty” before I even noticed she was in it. I thought she was just another generic blonde actress up until that point.
If she’s asking for this much money, they should just write her out of the sequel and have Vince Vaughn break up with someone else.
Between this, Johnny Depp, and Tobey Maguire, there’s something seriously wrong when half a film’s budget is spent on casting. There’s plenty of equally-talented unemployed actors looking for their big breaks who’ll work for peanuts.
The Break-UP sequel will be called…..wait for it… The Make-Up
I love Aniston on Friends. But she hadn’t come up with a great movie after that. And she still got $20 millions…
Can’t think why Aniston should earn more, and what exactly are they going to do with the story? What else is there to say? They broke up. Story has been finished
I couldn’t agree more…maybe you could sell Aniston as a ‘big star’ if it were 1998 and Friends was still in its prime, but certainly not now.
The first ‘Breakup’ was a tough watch at best. They billed it as a comedy yet it felt much more like a drama. The scenes in which they fought were just a little too realistic for most people I talk to. The general thought was that people go to the movie to escape day to day shit not surround themselves in it. If I wanted to watch two people fight over petty break-up stuff all I’d have to do is sit at home.
The only way I could get on board with a sequel would be if it included dinosaurs…yeah, big fucking dinosaurs…
I am guessing that they mean her success from friends? Who knows, if she gets 20 million for his – her agent must be a hypnotist.
Based on what, exactly, is Aniston “such a huge star”? I see nothing on her IMDb page that would indicate this. Seems to me that Vaughn has done quite a few higher profile gigs than her, e.g. Wedding Crashers, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Dodgeball, Old School, etc. Aniston’s two biggest films appear to be Along Came Polly, and Bruce Almighty.
