Neal Moritz is producing through his Sony-based Original Film shingle.
"They came in for a general meeting, and I said I'll buy it," said Moritz.
Moritz said he tried to buy the duo's spec "The Hangover," which Warner Bros. bought for $2 million just before the WGA strike.
Lucas and Moore, who will serve as exec producers on the project, also wrote the Matthew McConaughey-Jennifer Garner starrer "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past," currently shooting in Boston.
Last week, Moritz reupped his first-look deal with the studio through 2012. His recent films for the studio include "Prom Night" and "Vantage Point."
