Itching for an Oscar?
Steve Carell has signed on to star in the drama Dogs of Babel.
Here’s the plot synopsis per the press release:
The story follows Paul Iverson, a linguistics professor, who returns home one day to find his wife dead in their backyard. Police rule her death an accident, but Paul is not quite sure. The only witness to her death is their dog Lorelei. In Paul’s grief-stricken search for answers, he endeavors to teach Lorelei to talk in the hopes that he can uncover what happened the day his wife died.
While Carell has done films with dramatic elements in Little Miss Sunshine and Dan in Real Life, this sounds like a big departure for him.
This movie sounds like a winner.
We hope Steve is ready to make the Jim Carry leap!
