(Mike Blake/Reuters)Tim Allen and Elisha Cuthbert have signed on to star in the family comedy-drama "The Six Wives of Henry Lefay."

The story centers on a man (Allen) whose wife and five ex-wives -- ranging in age from 25 to 55 -- fight over his will when they believe he is dead. Cuthbert will play his unwed daughter. Andie MacDowell, Paz Vega, Kelli Garner and S. Epatha Merkerson are negotiating to play the eponymous spouses.

The indie film is scheduled to begin shooting next month in Connecticut. "Shrek the Third" scribe Howard Gould, who worked with Allen on "Home Improvement," will direct from his own script.

Allen, who starred in the surprise box office hit "Wild Hogs," recently wrapped David Mamet's drama "Redbelt." Cuthbert, whose credits include "Captivity" and "The Girl Next Door," was a longtime star of the Fox series "24."
