BEN’S PLAYING HARDBALL OVER DODGEBALL DO-OVER

Hard to dodge a Dodgeball sequel, according to JUSTIN LONG,

44, who says hilarious castmate VINCE VAUGHN, 52, has a hardhitting fun follow-up to their box office smash 2004 sports comedy. But it’s all about convincing bigheaded co-star BEN STILLER,

56, who’s stubbornly still on the fence. “Of course I would love to do it … but I think Ben is a little … trepidatious about doing a sequel to something so beloved, something that people enjoy so much,” explains the actor. “I’m just hoping Vince can convince him. It’s a funny idea,” tosses Justin.
