Is the third time the charm for The Rockford Files? NBC tried to remake the classic James Garner detective series back in 2010 with Dermot Mulroney as the lead, and when that version of the pilot underwhelmed, the network tried again to lure a name like Josh Holloway (to no avail). Now Universal is hoping for better luck on the big screen, as they’ve attached Vince Vaughn to star in a Rockford Files movie that just picked up writing pair David Levien and Brian Koppelman. Do you think it will come out at the same time as Robert Downey Jr.’s Perry Mason?
