Ryan Gosling and Will Ferrell are set to partner on Tough Guys, a new action comedy for Amazon MGM Studios, sources tell Deadline.
Originating as a spec from writer Daniel Gold, the story follows two henchmen who are tired of being disposable and break free from the criminal underworld, rewriting the rules as they build a new life on their own terms.
Gosling and Jessie Henderson will produce through General Admission, which has a first-look deal with Amazon MGM, along with Ferrell and Jessica Elbaum for Gloria Sanchez Productions. Trevor Engelson and Aaron Folbe will exec produce for Underground. No word yet on who’s directing.
