Carell hasn’t committed to the film, but it’s being developed as a vehicle for him, which means that his participation is close to a foregone conclusion. To add to the mystery of the premise, the project is being written by Phil Alden Robinson who is known for Field of Dream and the Sum of All Fears.

Huh.

So it’s a film starring Carell that has elements of a rom-com and a crime comedy that is being scripted by a guy who’s largely known for his work on a baseball drama and a panned film about a nuclear explosion with political repercussions. Okay then. (Variety)
