Diesel & Shankman Reved Up For "The Machine"

Vin Diesel and director Adam Shankman may reunite for the action comedy "The Machine" says Deadline.

Diesel stars as a human-like machine created in secrecy by the Pentagon as the world’s first true ultimate weapon, before the project was decommissioned and buried. Two decades later, The Machine is discovered by a kid who befriends him. When the government discovers he has been reactivated, The Machine steps up to protect the family harboring him.

Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant ("Night At The Museum") penned the original script with Alfred Gough and Miles Millar working on the most recent draft.

Diesel, Marc Marc Platt and Adam Siegel will produce.

Diesel and Shankman worked together on the better than you might expect comedy "The Pacifier".
