"Fist Fight" director Richie Keen has been roped in to helm Will Ferrell-fronted eSports comedy at Legendary Pictures.

Jordan Dunn and Michael Kvamme have penned the script.

According to Deadline, the film will feature Ferrell as a member of a professional eSports team, and an exception in a sport where players usually retire in their 20s due to slowing hand-eye coordination.

Keen will also produce the project alongside Mosaic Films.
