Neeson, Ribisi join MacFarlane’s western comedy   Liam Neeson
and Giovani Ribisi are the latest actors to saddle up for Seth
MacFarlane’s western comedy “A Million Ways to Die”.  The
Hollywood Reporter has the scoop on Neeson (“Taken”), saying
he’ll be playing an outlaw in the “Blazing Saddles”-like film.
A Million Ways to Die follows a cowardly sheep farmer
(MacFarlane) who chickens out of a gunfight and sees his
girlfriend (Amanda Seyfried) leave him for another man. When a
mysterious woman (Charlize Theron) rides into town, she helps
him find his courage. But when her outlaw husband arrives
seeking revenge, the farmer must put his newfound courage to the
test. Neeson would play Theron’s outlaw husband.  Deadline says
Ribisi (“Gangster Squad”) has also joined the cast, playing a
character Jonah Hill was originally set to play.
