Steve Carell sure likes signing up for movie. Barely a week goes by without news of him attaching himself to yet another movie. Not content with the seemingly hundreds of films he’s already got lined up, Deadline reports he’s now attached to star in an adaptation of Dave Barry and Alan Zweibel’s novel Lunatics for Universal Pictures.
The book is about Philip Horkman, the owner of a pet store who referees kids soccer games on Sundays, whose minor feud with one of the soccer dads escalates until it creates worldwide consequences, and leaves them running for their lives. Barry and Zweibel will adapt their novel, which is set to be published by in January.
It’s not known when it might go into production, but it’s early days so don’t expect it for a while.
