Katherine Heigl joins Kutcher in 'Killers'

Katherine Heigl has officially boarded Robert Luketic's upcoming thriller "Five Killers" for Lionsgate.

According to Variety, the story starts with a woman meeting the man of her dreams while on vacation. Sparkling romance, however, quickly vanishes when they find out their neighbors may have been hired to kill them.

Ashton Kutcher is also on board. Lionsgate picked up a first draft by Bob DeRosa, with Ted Griffin on board to rewrite the project.

Luketic last directed “21” and most recently wrapped filming for his upcoming comedy “The Ugly Truth,” which also stars Heigl in the female lead.

Heigl's big-screen efforts also include "27 Dresses" and "Knocked Up." Kutcher was last seen in "What Happens in Vegas."
