'SNL's' Taran Killam wrote the script and will make his directorial debut with the ensemble comedy.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is heading back into comedy territory.

The action star will star in Why We’re Killing Gunther, an action comedy that will be directed by Saturday Night Live star Taran Killam, making his directorial debut.

Killam, who also wrote the script, will also star in the ensemble along with his wife, actress Cobie Smulders, SNL’s Bobby Moynihan, Paul Brittain (Hotel Transylvania 2), Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley), Randall Park (The Interview) and Ryan Gaul (Identity Thief).

Kim Leadford, Killam, Ash Sarohia and Steve Squillante will produce while StarStream Media will finance.

MadRiver Pictures will introduce the film to international buyers at the Cannes International Film Festival, with UTA representing the North American rights.

The story tells of a group of eccentric international assassins who become fed up with Gunther, the world's greatest hitman who also happens to be an arrogant show-off, and decide to kill him. Their master plan, however, quickly turns into a series of embarrassing encounters as Gunther always appears one step ahead.

A June start date is being eyed.
