Director Robert Luketic has hired Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl for the movie Killers, a thriller comedy set for a release end of June 2010.

Update – the movie trailer of Killers is now available:

KILLERS

Plot:
“A vacationing woman (Katherine Heigl) meets her ideal man (Ashton Kutcher), leading to a swift marriage. The guy is actually a hitman, but he changes job out of love and keeps his past secret from his new wife. Back at home, however, their idyllic life is upset when they discover their neighbors could be assassins who have been contracted to kill the couple.”

One can but think of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s “Mr & Mrs. Smith” at reading the plot of Killers… But I guess it will be quite different with Luketic helming the project: expect the film to be more comedy than thriller.

Here below a first look at Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl in Killers:

I read that Ashton Kutcher trained in Thai boxing and other defence skills to be better fit for his role in the movie Killers. So, handsome, rich, married to a gorgeous woman (Demi moore), one of the most famous on Twitter, and now strong: is there any limit to Ashton Kutcher’s ambition?
