Back in 2006, Toni Collette and Steve Carell had a big indie success with Little Miss Sunshine, and now they’re planning to get back together for a film called The Way, Way Back, from Oscar-winning writers Jim Rash and Nat Faxon (The Descendants), who will also direct.
Variety has the news, and says the film is about a teenage boy who has to struggle through a summer holiday while dealing with a bored, inattentive mother (Collette) and a hard-drinking, drug taking and cheating stepfather (Carell). Allison Janney, Sam Rockwell and Annasophia Robb are also signed up for the movie.
The script has been around for a couple of years, and will hopefully go into production this summer.
