If you're a relative of screenwriter Dan Fogelman, chances are you can expect a pretty slick Christmas present this year!
The "Bolt" writer has sold an untitled spec script to Warner Bros for - get this! - $2 million against $2.5 million. Now that's quite the pay-day!
Fogelman wrote the script, about a father whose life unravels while he deals with a marital crisis and tries to manage his relationship with his children, with actor Steve Carell in mind - and luckily for him, and the WB, the "Get Smart" star loved it! Carell will be a producer on the film, as well as its star.
The comic superstar, who'll next be heard as the lead voice in the CGI family flick "Despicable Me", is reportedly contemplating whether to do this as his next film - when TVs "The Office" is on a break next Summer - or "Mail-Order Groom", a comedy that would reunite Carell with Tina Fey, his co-star in the upcoming laffer "Date Night".
