Josh Duhamel is fuelling up for a new road trip movie, it's been reported.

The Transformers actor and Kung Fu Panda star Dan Fogler will play former college friends who decide to hit the highway together in Scenic Route, reports Deadline.com.

Their friendship is put to the test when things go awry and they find themselves stranded in the desert.

The movie will be directed by Kevin and Michael Goetz.

Duhamel, who is married to Black Eyed Pea Fergie, has a string of projects in the pipeline including drama Fire With Fire and comedy anthology Movie 43.

However, he recently suggested that he won't be reprising his role of Captain William Lennox in the fourth Transformers movie, telling E! News: "I haven't heard anything about it. They haven't called me."
