Kevin Smith will be re-teaming with Mallrats star Jason Lee once again. According to /Film reader Drake Rivera, Smith announced on Kevin Pollack's Live Show on Sunday afternoon that Lee would have a role in his new buddy cop comedy A Couple of Dicks.

Written by Robb and Marc Cullen, and featured on the 2008 Black List (a Hollywood insider list of the best unproduced screenplays of the year), The film stars Tracy Morgan and Bruce Willis as two veteran LAPD detectives who attempt to track down a stolen, mint-condition, 1952 baseball card, get tangled with a sports memorabilia-obsessed gangster, and rescue a Mexican beauty named Gabriela (Ana de la Reguera), who might hold the key to millions in laundered drug money.
