Kevin Smith to make Willis and Morgan A Couple of Cops

Kevin Smith is branching out from his comfort zone and will be leaving New Jersey for a major studio comedy staring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan as A Couple of Cops.

MovieWeb says:

Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan have signed on to star in Warner Bros.’ detective comedy A Couple of Cops, marking director Kevin Smith’s first major studio project.

According to Variety, Marc Platt is producing the project, formerly titled A Couple of Dicks. The scripting team of Robb and Marc Cullen penned the screenplay, centered on a pair of cops who track down a stolen baseball card, rescue a Mexican beauty and must deal with gangsters and laundered drug money.

Bruce Willis is a clear winner as a cop. How many times has this guy taken on a badge? Its a natural fit for him.

But Tracey Morgan? That guy NEVER strikes me as a role that places any sort of authority at all. I can’t see him as a cop, and while we are at it, I don’t much like his comedy either.

But this is going to be directed by Kevin Smith, and not for his own View Askew. So these guys won’t be a part of the Askewniverse so I don’t expect any of the Smith staple cameos to be in it, but I have a lot of faith in Kevin Smith’s ability.

Two out of three ain’t bad. I just hope that Morgan fits in, or this could be a big stinker.
