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.

Marc Platt and Polly Johnsen are producing. Sarah Schechter and Matthew Milam are overseeing for the studio.

This marks the first time that Brody will work with Kevin on a film. Scott as you may recall, was thrilled to be a part of “Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back” for a memorable cameo. Joblo confirms the story as well.

And yep, shooting starts THIS MONDAY! We’ll be ramping up coverage here at News Askew, with the hopes that a New York location shoot might get us some more visible scoopage that Zack & Miri’s more subtle Pittsburgh-area stuff. Stick around. It’s gonna get good.
