Twentieth Century Fox has landed The Engineer, a pitch to be developed as a star vehicle for Ashton Kutcher. Mike Finch will write and Jason Goldberg, Kutcher's partner in Katalyst Productions, will produce.

The script by Finch, who most recently wrote Adrenaline for Intermedia, covers 24 frantic hours in the life of an American engineer in Tokyo after he's labeled a terrorist.

The deal marks the second recent big pact for a Kutcher vehicle engineered by Katalyst; Sony paid $2 million for the Kevin Bisch comedy The Arrangement, with Kutcher to play a florist who specializes in fixing relationships.
