Braun Watches The 'Hood'

Nicholas Braun  has joined "Neighborhood Watch," says Variety.

In the  sci-fi comedy Vince Vaughn and his "Dodgeball" co-star Ben Stiller play suburban dads who use the guise of a neighborhood watch group for some male-bonding time away from their families. They soon accidentally uncover a plot to destroy the world.

The trade doesn't mention what role Braun will be playing.


Jonah Hill will play Vaughn’s sidekick, one who constantly embellishes his past to include a rough and dark side. Actress Rosemarie DeWitt will play the wife of Ben Stiller's character. Chris Tucker co stars  Jamarcus, a recent divorcee.

Akiva Schaffer is directing the project from a script by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.

Production is scheduled to start in Georgia sometime this fall.

Braun's Red State work has been a catalyst for the actor to get a spate a higher profile roles--I just hope he's playing against type in Watch.
