A Couple of Dicks (Kevin Smith directs Bruce Willis)

Seann William Scott and Adam Brody are joining Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan in Warner Bros.' "A Couple of Dicks," a buddy action comedy being directed by Kevin Smith.

The script, by Robb and Mark Cullen, follows a maverick cop (Willis) and his partner (Morgan) who, while tracking a valuable stolen baseball card, tangle with a memorabilia-obsessed gangster and rescue a Mexican beauty who holds the key to millions in laundered drug money.

Scott plays a thief known as the Shit Bandit for the souvenirs he leaves at his robberies. Brody is an abrasive detective not happy to be working with Willis and Morgan.

Shooting begins Monday in New York.

Smith Talks

Kevin Smith went solo on-stage this evening in San Diego's Hall H, answering audience questions with his trademark standup comic style.

Smith did, sadly, deliver the word that his film, currently titled A Couple of Dicks will probably have to be retitled, as was rumored earlier in the year because of advertising issues. Three networks
(ABC, NBC and CBS) have refused to air ads for the film before 9pm killing, as Smith puts it, the sports audience that's his core audience.

No footage was offered, with Smith explaining that every time he shows clips in San Diego, he gets thunderous applause and then the movie tanks. His hope, he jokes, is that he can at least make a movie so bad that he'll kill the genre.

"The genre was dead," Smith mimics reviewers, "And now we're gonna bury it because fat 'Clerks.' guy made one."

Citing his biggest influence on "Dicks" as "Abbott and Costello," Smith promises, "60 percent less action than 'Lethal Weapon.'"

"And I'm talking the first one," he adds, "that had like no action whatsoever."

[BorneAgain]

Ah, so Smith finally came up with something to direct Bruce Willis in.

Bit of backstory. In An Evening with Kevin Smith 3, he mentioned that after the most recent Die Hard (one that Smith starred in and was allowed to rewrite dialog for) Willis approached him about having Kevin direct him in something.

Smith mentioned that he panicked and lamented that he couldn't think of any film to have Bruce in. Glad to see that he does.

[Madman Szalinski]

If Kevin's goal is to kill a genre of movie, PLEASE PLEASE have him direct an urban dance flick next!

[Metalheadbanger Man]

I thought it said "Adrien Brody" at first glance, which would've been interesting.

Looking forward to this one - the first film he's directed that he hasn't written, it seems.

Still waiting for Daredevil/Bullseye: The Target to finish up, so unless that does then my ban on giving any money to Kevin Smith projects is going to be continuing well into year 8. I'll probably check this out if a buddy buys it on dvd.

[willywonka666]

eh, I don't care for sean william scott or tracey morgan at all. The film sounds half good (Willis and Smith's involvement)

What's galling about that for me is he completed that Batman mini series no problem recently.
