Los Andeles -- Rainn Wilson, who plays the sycophantic Dwight on "The Office," is making his screenwriting debut on a project in which he will star as a once-great ninja who is now living a life of mediocrity.
Fox Searchlight has picked up the dark comedy, "Bonzai Shadowhands," which Jason Reitman ("Thank You For Smoking") will direct.
While "Bonzai" will be a comedy, the tone will be somewhat serious, said Reitman. "It's 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' meets 'Midnight Cowboy' ... We wanted to do something that was more than a light comedy. We feel it could be a movie that had something to say."
