Peter Segal ("The Longest Yard," "Get Smart") is in negotiations to direct supernatural comedy "Neighborhood Watch" for 20th Century Fox.

Previously, David Dobkin "Wedding Crashers" was attached to direct, and Will Ferrell to star in the comedy but that fell apart last summer. Now with Segal, who has had general success in the comedy film genre, on the director's chair for "Neighborhood Watch," we should see him deliver another successful comedy, hopefully.

The movie centers on a newcomer who joins the suburban neighborhood watch group, and stumbles upon a supernatural forces aiming to destroy the world.
