Shane West is ready to ignite the big screen in
Kerosene Cowboys.
The actor is in talks to star in the action thriller, along with one-time

Rachael Leigh Cook,
The Hollywood Reporter reports.
Based on a Randy Arrington novel, the film will follow the hard-knock lives of - no, not cowboys - but Navy pilots. Gigandet will play a "hot-shot pilot," while West will play his BFF-turned-enemy, and Cook will be a journalist and Gigandet's love interest.
