Outsourced is Outsourced to Azaria



Comedyblog readers might remember a recent story about screenwriter Tim Dowling, who has several anticipated scripts in various levels of non-production right now. His most prominent unproduced screenplay is Outsourced, which was once touted as a reunion vehicle for Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, but was essentially scrapped altogether when those actors became too prominent and expensive. Apparently Columbia still plans to make it happen though, because they've pegged popular actor and voice impressionist Hank Azaria to make his feature directing debut. Now if they could only find a cast... Hey, why not downgrade to Luke Wilson and Jon Favreau?

The film will follow two factory workers who lose their jobs due to outsourcing. The pair travels to Mexico to take back their old positions, and presumably have some wacky times getting mixed up in rich Latino culture or something.
