Variety reports:

Following the success of Sony’s “Jump Street” franchise, New Line looks set to hop into the buddy action-comedy genre too, enlisting two of Hollywood’s hottest stars to help make a splash. Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart will star in “Central Intelligence” for New Line, with “We’re the Millers” helmer Rawson Marshall Thurber directing.

Scott Stuber will produce through his Bluegrass Films banner, along with Peter Principato and Paul Young of Principato-Young Entertainment. Ed Helms is exec producing.

The story begins with a class reunion approaching, as a former high school sports star turned accountant (Hart) is contacted by a classmate (Johnson) who was bullied and humiliated back in the day. The “loser” that the accountant remembers is now a CIA contract killer who ropes him into helping foil a plot to sell classified military secrets.

The original writers are ‎Ike Barinholtz and Dave Stassen, with Sean Anders and John Morris penning a subsequent draft and Thurber taking another pass on the latest script.

New Line plans to begin shooting in the spring with Sam Brown and Michael Disco overseeing. Beau Bauman is overseeing for Bluegrass.

Both Johnson and Hart began teasing a possible team-up over the weekend via Twitter and Instagram.

The Rock
A blast crafting and creating this dude... The inspiration behind this character "Bob" has always been Tom Hanks in "BIG" with an added twist. He's a grown man who's extremely childlike and views the world thru exuberant and enthusiastic teenage eyes... Loves to wear his favorite Public Enemy shirt, cargo pants and sneakers to work.. and rocks a fanny pack which holds his Bruce Lee quotes and a condom (he's always prepared). The "added twist" is Bob has an extremely high IQ and is one of the most lethal men on the planet as a C.I.A. contract killer. Oh the most important character trait.. He hates bullies. Can't wait for y'all to meet "Bob".
 
I'm actually really looking forward to this movie. The Rock does action comedy really well (Like The Rundown).
