24 Frames is reporting that Jonah Hill and Mark Wahlberg may play a pair of bumbling antiheroes in the action-comedy Good Time Gang.

The RCR Pictures project "follows two party-happy mercenaries who decide to take on a more serious case involving a terrorist, only to find their mission complicated when they discover one of them is related to the target."

The site goes on to say that the project has been described as a new spin on Lethal Weapon, with more emphasis on the action than the comedy.
