Stiller to direct Fox comedy 'Station'

Ben Stiller has signed up to direct and executive produce Fox's office-based comedy The Station, reports Variety.

Kevin Napier will write the pilot, which takes place in a secret CIA office in South America.

Stiller's Red Hour Films partners Jeremy Kramer and Stuart Cornfeld will executive produce the show. Napier will take on a co-executive producer role.

Stiller, whose fourth feature film as a director, Tropic Thunder, is currently playing in cinemas, has previously helmed episodes of his eponymous TV sketch show, along with pilots for Heath Vision And Jack and an untitled CBS comedy starring his wife Christine Taylor.
