‘Five Killers’ brings back Familiar Favorites

Lionsgate is developing a new action/comedy called ‘Five Killers’ which will star Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl, written by Bob DeRosa and Ted Griffin and directed by Robert Luketic (’21’).

The story follows a hitman (Kutcher) at the top of his game who falls for a computer tech (Heigl) and decides to hang up his guns. Years later, their suburban bliss is ruptured when he finds out there’s a hit out on him, forcing him and his spooked wife to go on the run. — HR

So, what’s the big deal?

Who thought Tom Selleck was dead? Or, maybe he’d gone into retirement, secluding himself from the rest of the world to live the life of a hermit? WRONG! That’s right… Tom Selleck is back and has been cast in ‘Five Killers’ along side two other familiar faces that we’ve come to miss, Catherine O’Hara (not so lost, ‘For Your Consideration’) and Martin Mull (‘Night Court’).

Now, I know many of you are eagerly, maybe even fanatically, jumping up and down in your seats screaming with unbridled anticipation, but sit tight. ‘Five Killers’ begins production this month and is scheduled to hit theaters on June 4, 2010.
