Steve Carell, Tiny Fey To Share ‘Date Night’
Comedic heavyweights Steve Carell and Tina Fey are joining forces for the upcoming movie “Date Night.”
According to Variety, Carell and Fey have been cast in the 20th Century Fox comedy as a married couple whose routine date night turns into something much more than just a dinner and movie.
The film will be directed by Shawn Levy, whose credits include “Cheaper by the Dozen” and “Night at the Museum,” as well as the latter’s upcoming sequel.
“I wanted to do a relatable, grounded character comedy about marriage and the lengths we go to preserve the spark,” Levy told Daily Variety.
“Tina and Steve are smart and relatable, and the tone of their comedy perfectly fits this film.”
Carell is known for starring turns in “The 40 Year Old Virgin” and “The Office,” while Fey is an “SNL” alumni and writer-star on “30 Rock.”
“Date Night” will begin shooting next year, when the two stars are on hiatus from their respective TV shows.
