The studio has acquired the action comedy pitch The Revenger, with the Night At The Museum scripting team Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant writing for Zombieland‘s Ruben Fleisher to direct and Liam Neeson to star. Scott Stuber and Dylan Clark will produce through their Universal-based Bluegrass Films shingle, along with Fleisher and his producing partner David Bernad through The District.

Lennon also stars in The Odd Couple. Neeson recently wrapped production on Silence for Paramount and A Monster Calls for Focus Features. Bluegrass is in post on the Gary Ross scripted and directed The Free State of Jones with Matthew McConaughey and the Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson-starrer Central Intelligence. The District is producing the NBC comedy Superstore, starring America Ferrara. Lennon and Garant are represented by UTA and Principato-Young, and Neeson and Fleisher are represented by CAA.

Neeson doing an action comedy from the creators of Reno 911 and the director of Zombieland? Color me interested.
