According to Variety, Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan are set to star in Kevin Smith's new movie that was originally titled A Couple of Dicks, however, the film has been given a clean and shiny new title: A Couple of Cops.

Willis and Morgan will play two LAPD detectives who are enlisted to track down a stolen baseball card, but find their task to be fraught with danger, as they tangle with mobsters, laundered drug money, and a mysterious Mexican beauty.

Cops was scripted by Robb and Marc Cullen, and will not only be the first time Smith directs another man’s script, it’s also going to be his first major studio film. Smith will be directing Cops for Warner Bros rather than Miramax / The Weinstein Co. All we can say is, HURRAY! Tracy Morgan might actually be put to good use finally.
