The Coverage, Ink / Writers On The Storm blog has published an interview with Bob DeRosa, the screenwriter for Katherine's summer action comedy "Killers" which is set to hit theatres in June 2010.

In the extensive article, DeRosa chats about how the project came about from behind the scenes, revealing a few snippets of information about the movie and what viewers can expect to see next summer:

"I turned in my final draft to them right before the strike. After the strike, they brought in Phil Joanou ("Gridiron Gang,") who is a great action director and had really great ideas. I was really lucky at that point. That’s usually the point where a writer gets kicked off a project, but I owed them a draft. And I met Phil, and we hit it off. So I did a couple drafts with Phil’s notes. So for at least a year I was doing drafts with feature directors, and by the time I finished my last draft with Phil, the studio was even more enamored with the script. At this point the budget’s starting to rise, and it’s becoming more of a star vehicle. They brought in Ted Griffin ("Ocean’s Eleven") to do a polish, and he did a great job, and he did what they wanted to take that $25 million movie and make it more of a $50 or $60 million movie. They ended up parting ways with Phil – I think Lionsgate was starting to see it more as a comedic film. As opposed to an action film comedy, they started seeing it as a comedy with action. (Director) Rob Luketic ("Legally Blonde") came on, Ashton Kutcher ("That ‘70s Show") came on, and then Rob had just shot a movie with Katherine Heigl ("Grey’s Anatomy") and she came on. Now it’s tentpole-sized. I mean, it’s funny for me, because it’s still my story, still my characters – I just went through credit arbitration, and I got my credit – story by Bob DeRosa, screenplay by Bob DeRosa and Ted Griffin – but it’s a bigger movie, a funnier movie. It’s definitely evolved in Rob Luketic’s hands. I haven't seen the first cut yet, but I think it’s going to be really, really cool."
