The first image has emerged of Ron Howard’s new comedy The Dilemma (courtesy of Collider).

The film stars Vince Vaughn who is faced with the titular dilemma when he discovers his best friend’s wife (Winona Ryder) is having an affair. Should he reveal all to his buddy (Kevin James) and risk putting an end to their friendships, a circle which includes Vaughan’s girlfriend, played by Jennifer Connelly.

Young heartthrob Channing Tatum rounds out the cast as Ryder’s lover.

Howard’s output has been mixed of late (for every inspiring Frost/Nixon, there’s a sloppy Da Vinci Code and sequel), but with Vaughan on board and his appealing everyman quality, this one could a good match.

The Dilemma opens in the US January 2011. We’ll keep you updated when the UK release date is announced.
