Kutcher is one of 'Five Killers' (VAR)

By Nancy Tartaglione-Vialatte

Ashton Kutcher is set to star in Robert Luketic’s "Five Killers," an action comedy that will begin production early next year. Variety reports that Lionsgate acquired the project as a spec script from Bob DeRosa. Ted Griffin is doing a rewrite.

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.

Scott Aversano is producing with Kutcher and his Katalyst Prods. partner Jason Goldberg.

Luketic recently directed "21" and has wrapped the Katherine Heigl-Gerard Butler starrer "The Ugly Truth."

Lionsgate will distribute the film in North America, the UK and Australia, and Mandate Intl. will sell remaining world territories at the upcoming AFM.
