Cameron Diaz (pictured) and Ashton Kutcher are rolling the dice together on romantic comedy "What Happens In Vegas" for 20th Century Fox
Director Julian Farino ("Entourage") is looking to helm from a script by Dana Fox.
Penn Station's Dean Georgaris and Mosaic Media's Michael Aguilar are producing the comedy, which teams Diaz and Kutcher for the first time.
Set in Sin City, story revolves around two people who discover they've gotten married following a night of debauchery, with one of them winning a huge jackpot after playing the other's quarter. Unhappy pair try to undermine each other and get their hands on the money -- falling in love along the way.
Deals aren't yet closed for the two actors, Farino or Fox.
Diaz is in theaters this weekend with "Shrek the Third."
Word of the "Vegas" project came just as Kutcher (pictured) was in [New York] at the ABC upfront plugging midseason comedy "'Miss/Guided " which he exec produces.
Given the talent that is lined up for this film, the flick could actually be a lot fun. Diaz hasn't really been in a good live action comedy since There's Something About Mary....Assuming the script from Fox is above average and there's solid chemistry between the two leads....Kutcher has really tried to step away from his pratfall schtick as well. It would be cool if they were to infuse more humor into the film--so that it won't turn into some predictable piece of genre fluff.
