The U.S. Comedy Arts Festival announced Monday that its centerpiece showcase next month will be a 10th-anniversary celebration of the 1996 film "Swingers," which made "money" the coinage of cool. The festival, set to run March 8th-12th in Aspen, Colo., will reunite the film's cast — Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau (who ... wrote the movie) and Ron Livingston.

Favreau wrote the screenplay to Swingers in two weeks, with various friends in mind for key roles. One scene, in which Trent yells at Sue for insulting Mike, was written at Vaughn's request to make it clear that beneath Trent's swagger, he truly cared for Mike as a friend. Favreau and his friends gave reader's theater performances of the script to drum up interest and capital for the movie.
