Requa, Ficarra to team up with Carell

By Adnan Tezer Jan 27, 2010, 18:13 GMT

Warner Bros. is in talks with the directing team of John Requa and Glenn Ficarra to direct their untitled Steve Carell comedy.

Carell will play a father whose life comes apart while he deals with marital problems and tries to manage his relationship with his children.

According to Variety, the announcement comes a month after the studio purchased the spec script by "Bolt" writer Dan Fogelman.

The film is being produced by Denise Di Novi and Carell's Carousel production company, with Charlie Hartsock and Vance DeGeneres executive producing.

Requa and Ficarra directed "I Love You Phillip Morris" from their own script, adapted from Steven McVicker's novel. "Morris" stars Jim Carrey as a married conman who falls in love with his cellmate, played by Ewan McGregor.

Requa and Ficarra also wrote "Bad Santa," "Bad News Bears" and "Cats and Dogs."
