Gavin O'Connor, director of this past weekend's Pride & Glory, will direct Vince Vaughn in Sunny and 68. The film is set to begin production February 2010.
Vaughn will play a superstar on the poker circuit whose alcoholism and recklessness cause him to flame out on national television. Wiped out and owing $500,000 to bookies, he heads home to upstate New York for the first time in 20 years, looking to take back cash he'd been sending his mother. Instead, he finds his mother dying of cancer and raising a 5-year-old girl who is actually his daughter. Mom has been positioning his former high school g.f. to become the girl's eventual caretaker.
