Director Brian Robbins ("The Shaggy Dog", "Hardball", "Norbit") and Eddie Murphy are reteaming on "Starship Dave" which is in pre-production at 20th Century Fox reports Variety.

"Starship Dave" is the story of a crew of miniature, human-looking aliens who are seeking a way to save their doomed world. Murphy will play the human spacecraft they travel in (Starship Dave) as well as the ship's captain.

Shooting is scheduled to begin in March. Pete Segal was previously attached to direct the pic but has a scheduling conflict due to "Get Smart" which he's helming for Warner Bros.
