Ashton Kutcher will star in “Five Killers,” an action comedy, which Robert Luketic will direct for Lionsgate.
Robert Luketic is known for “21” and “The Ugly Truth” as director.
Kutcher will play a former hit man whose life is turned upside down because someone from his past has paid a group of killers to bump him off.
Lionsgate acquired the project as a spec script by Bob DeRosa, and Ted Griffin is doing a rewrite.
“Five Killers” will begin production early next year.
