Carell talks up “Evan Almighty”
So, hands up those who thought a spin-off of “Bruce Almighty” starring Steve Carell reprising his role of Evan Baxter was a good idea before he won the Golden Globe?
Chatting with the guys at SciFi Wire, Carell dropped a few hints about the upcoming “Evan Almighty”:
“It involves God coming to my character and instructing him to build an ark……And it sort of starts from there. … I think it will be [hilarious]. I read the script, and it’s really funny. … He undergoes a learning curve, emotionally and spiritually, in the building of this ark.”
Carell also mentions that Director Tom Shadyac (who also helmed “Bruce”), is looking at turning the “Almighty” touch to others down the line – “I know Tom Shadyac is hoping that it is a series, and then a couple of years down the road … Will Ferrell or Ben Stiller or somebody else…”
