According to The Hollywood Reporter, all-around badass Liam Neeson is currently in negotiations to join Seth MacFarlane’s A Million Ways to Die in the West.

As a follow-up to Ted, Seth MacFarlane will star, direct and produce the Western comedy, and he’s already penned the script. Amanda Seyfried and Charlize Theron have also already signed on to co-star as the two female leads.

THR described the plot of A Million Ways to Die centering around “a cowardly sheep farmer (MacFarlane) who chickens out of a gunfight and sees his girlfriend (Seyfried) leave him for another man.”

Produced by Media Rights Capital, A Million Ways to Die in the West is expected to start filming in May.
