Steve Carell Has The Priority List In A New Cancer Drama

By Leave a Comment

steve-carellSteve Carell wants to get a little bit dramatic, as he’s got Warner Bros. to pick up the rights to David Menasche’s memoir, The Priority List: A Teacher’s Final Quest to Discover Life’s Greatest Lessons, which The Office star is set to produce and star in, according to Variety.

Menasche’s book chronicles his life as a Miami high school teacher, who was given a few months to live after being diagnosed with a deadly form of brain cancer. After several surgeries and chemo he managed to overcome the disease, but a seizure ended his teaching career in 2012.

He then took part in a cross-country journey to reconnect with former students from his teaching career, which resulted in him coming to terms with his illness and the effect it had on his life, while also learning to live fully in the present.

There’s no news on when it might shoot.

But when Alexander tells his upbeat family about the misadventures of his disastrous day, he finds little sympathy and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him. He soon learns that he’s not alone when his mom (Jennifer Garner), dad (Steve Carell), brother (Dylan Minnette) and sister (Kerris Dorsey) all find themselves living through their own terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Anyone who says there is no such thing as a bad day just hasn’t had one.

By Leave a Comment

anchorman-2-preview-pic2
After being in development for years, Anchorman 2 is now in the can and heading for a Christmas release. The likes of Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, David Koechner, and Christina Applegate are all reprising their Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy roles, with Adam McKay directing from a screenplay he co-wrote with Ferrell.

The film takes place in the early 1980s, during the advent of the 24-hour news cycle. Needless to say, the Action 4 News team has trouble adapting to this news format. It also sees Ron heading off on a trip to New York.

Cameos from the likes of Harrison Ford, James Marsden, Kristen Wiig, Jim Carrey, Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Vince Vaughn and loads more are also promised to show up.

Now a couple of new pics have been released from the movie via The Playlist, showing off Ron’s very retro big furry collar. Take a look above and below.
