Bill Murray, Lucas Black join 'Get Low'

Bill Murray and Lucas Black have signed on to star in Zanuck Co.'s upcoming thriller "Get Low."

Aaron Schneider is directing the film, which Variety says is based on the true story of Felix "Bush" Breazeale, "a Tennessee recluse who planned his own funeral in 1938 while he was still alive and could enjoy it."

Schneider wrote the screenplay with Gaby Mitchell and Chris Provenzano. Shooting is expected to kick off this week in Georgia.

Murray was last seen as an evil mayor in "City of Ember." Upcoming projects of his include Jim Jarmusch's "The Limits of Control" and Wes Anderson's "Fantastic Mr. Fox." Both directors worked with Murray before.

As for Black, his acting gigs include "The Fast and the Furious: Tokto Drift," "Jarhead" and "Friday Night Lights." He'll also show up in Scott Charles Stewart's upcoming "Legion."

Schneider recently served as second unit director on Gary Fleder's "The Express."
