Doug Liman and writer Dave Caplan are teaming up on a kung fu comedy for NBC.

The untitled half-hour show revolves around a pair of brothers who find themselves taking care of their mom and her restaurant. In order to afford her dream retirement home, they're forced to become bounty hunters -- and they decide to use the martial art of kung fu rather than firearms to get the job done.

Dave Caplan will write the pilot, which will be based on an idea from NBC Universal's Katie O'Connell. Caplan studies Wing Chun and is a former private investigator. Doug Liman, Dave Caplan and David Bartis will executive produce.
