Vince Vaughn’s company, Wild West Productions, has acquired the rights to a book published a mere month ago. THE RISK AGENT, by Ridley Pearson, is not your usual Vaughn project – though he’ll star, presumably, as main character John Knox. Working as a hostage extraction expert based in China, Knox (along with a colleague) must save a Chinese national before it’s too late. With Michael A. Lerner (AUGUST, EIGHTH) set to pen the script this could be a nice surprise, or it could go as other serious roles have for Vaughn – anyone remember PSYCHO?
