Steve Carell to backpack through Europe in his next movie?

by Justin Glow Jun 29th 2008 @ 12:00PM

I was lost deep in a clicktrance this morning when I stumbled on IMDb's listing for an "Untitled Steve Carell Project" due out in 2010. The synopsis reads,

"A group of middle-aged friends embark on the European backpacking trip they never took after college."

Unfortunately, this is all the information I could find. One IMDb commentor thinks this will be a film adaptation of the popular kids book Where's Waldo?, but I'm not so sure.

What do you think?

Carell is spelled with one "r". Proofreading FTW.

All I know is Steve Carell's movies keep getting worse. Maybe this one will be better.

Fixed, thanks.

Punctuation goes inside the quotes, btw (unless you're British!)

Not true! AP Style notes that placement of punctuation depends on whether it's actually part of the quote or title. Here's an example given on apstylebook.com:

Placement of a question mark with a title depends on the meaning. If the title itself doesn't have the question mark: Who wrote "Gone With the Wind"?

But this sort of thing has always been a gray area, so it's really personal preference. I feel "r." would look weird and slightly confusing.

But that doesn't make it correct. ;)

His movies have been awful. How does a guy who is not funny get movie roles?

Hey, Justin - long time not talk. I actually think it sounds kind of funny. The thought of doing the same European backpacking trip today with the same group of gals I did it with more than ten years ago is frightening, but there would probably be some pretty comical moments.

Hope to get you and Grant out in Dallas later this year. pb.
