Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn are attached to star in the sci-fi comedy USED GUYS, with AUSTIN POWERS helmer Jay Roach set to direct. The screenwriting duo of David Guion and Michael Handelman have been hired by Roach to rewrite the movie's script (originally penned by Mickey Birnbaum.) Roach may -- or may not -- make the film his next project. He's also been attached to direct the live-action version of THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY for years, as well as a sequel to MEET THE PARENTS.

USED GUYS is set in a future where all the men of the planet have been wiped out except for, you guessed, it, Stiller and Vaughn's characters. The pair of lucky stiffs are the most desired men in the history of mankind, that is, until the female leaders find a way to clone superior males. Once the guys are rendered obsolete they take off for a fabled haven referred to as "Mantopia" (or should that be "Maxim"?)

Cloned and dumped. I've been there. It's rough.
