Steve Carell and Tina Fey Go on Date Night

August 15, 2008


Steve Carell and Tina Fey are set to play a married couple in Date Night, a 20th Century Fox comedy to be directed by Shawn Levy, reports Variety.

Josh Klausner wrote the script, based on an idea by Levy, whose 21 Laps will produce. The story follows a couple who find their routine date night becomes much more than just dinner and a movie.

The film will begin production next year, with the exact start date predicated on matching a scheduling hiatus from Carell's sitcom "The Office" and Fey's "30 Rock."

Levy, who is shooting Fox's Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, intends the film to be his next directing assignment.

NICE! I love Steve Carell and don't mind Tina Fey that much.

Should be a good, enjoyable little film.

so it's going to be like Michael Scott going on a date night, right?


I really love Steve Carell, but I just feel that a lot of his more recent characters are just like Michael Scott. Not that that's a bad thing I guess.

Dan in Real Life was nothing like Michael in the office. Or little miss sunshine. Check those out if you want to see a departure from his usual loud sort of comedy. They both have touches of his personal character in there, but they're still much different than his norm.

I hope the writer includes at least "that's what she said" joke. I never get tired of them!

Carell Schmarell...that's all fine and dandy, but what I'd really like to see is Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon on the big screen together...

As much as I love the casting, I'm not too wild about the director. Sure his movies made money, but that doesn't speak for quality.
