Actress Scarlett Johansson is in talks to star in Sony's R-rated comedy "Move That Body".

The comedy comes from "Broad City" writers Lucia Aniello and Paul W Downs, said The Hollywood Reporter.

Downs also co-stars in the film and Aniello is in the director's chair.

The movie centres around five friends who rent a Miami beach house for a bachelorette weekend and accidentally kill a male stripper.

The co-writers, who are executive producers of the Comedy Central show, will produce the film through their Paulilu banner with Matt Tolmach and Dave Becky.

Tolmach has produced a long history of R-rated comedies, including "Zombieland", "Step Brothers" and "Superbad".
 

"Move That Body" earned a spot on the 2015 Black List, the annual roundup of Hollywood's best unproduced screenplays, which was announced yesterday.
