Steve Carell Really Might Rule the World
Filed under: Casting, Universal, RumorMonger
Back when he was just a dorky-looking guy struggling to make it big, Steve Carell played Evan Baxter, Jim Carrey's nemesis in Bruce Almighty. Now that a Carrey-free sequel is in the works (Morgan Freeman
will be back) and Carell is a box office king, Universal reportedly
want him to star. If he accepted the role, the film would be called
Evan Almighty and it would be Carell's character with all the cool
powers. Details on the plot are vague, but Evan might be asked to build
an Ark. Hey, arks are funny. Steve Carell is funny. And the name "Evan
Almighty" for some reason strikes me as hilarious. Hey, Steve, I know I
was getting on you before about taking too many roles, but I take it back. Do this! Please?

Ya, and they better actually FILM in Buffalo last time. For Bruce Almighty, neither Aniston nor Carrey actually set foot in this kick-ass city of ours.

I was never able to bring myself to watch this movie, knowing it is such a blatant rip-off of a perfectly good book called Almighty Me (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/039556266X/qid=1125177043/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-6900557-5776705?v=glance&s=books&n=507846).
