Lucy Liu and Cillian Murphy are set to star in WATCHING THE DETECTIVES, a romantic comedy from Toronto-based Peace Arch Entertainment and New York-based Plum Pictures, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Paul Soter of Broken Lizard fame wrote the script and is making his directorial debut on the movie.

WATCHING THE DETECTIVES centers on a film noir buff (Murphy) whose world is turned upside down when a beautiful, unpredictable femme fatale (Liu) provides far more adventure than he ever experienced -- and possibly more than he can handle.

Shooting is due to start this week in New York.
