Tommy Lee Jones Joining Meryl Streep in ‘Great Hope Springs’

Tommy Lee Jones is joining Meryl Streep and Steve Carell in he upcoming movie Great Hope Springs.

Tommy Lee Jones will star alongside Meryl Streep and Steve Carell in Great Hope Springs, the Mandate comedy being directed by David Frankel.

The project, written by Vanessa Taylor, centers on a middle-aged couple (Streep and Jones)  who after 30 years of marriage attend an intense counseling weekend to examine the marriage and sex issues that are threatening their marriage. Carell plays the famed relationship guru who tries to help the couple out once they arrive in the town of Great Hope Springs.

This movie sounds like it has the potential to be really funny, all three have comedy chops. I’m looking forward seeing how this one turns out, I see a lot of laughs coming from these actors. Meryl Streep is always good, she’s one of the most consistently good actors out there. Expect Great Hope Springs in theaters late next year.

WATCH: Steve Carell Says Goodbye To ‘The Office’ Fans

Steve Carell has taken time to send a video out to the fans of The Office.

After seven seasons, his character Michael Scott is off to Colorado and leaves Dunder Mifflin behind on tonight’s show.

But Carell is a true gentleman who, with costar Angela Kinsey, gave a sweet, earnest  good-bye filled with special memories. Carell will be missed.

Jim Carrey Is Taking An ‘Office’ Job

Steve Carrell’s send off is getting bigger by the day.

The Office season finale in May has added another comedian to the list of stars making an appearance: Jim Carrey.

Carrey will be one of the many candidates vying to take over the Dunder-Mifflin management vacancy as Michael Scott (Carrell) departs for Colorado.

Ricky Gervais, Ray Romano, Will Arnett, Catherine Tate, James Spader and Will Ferrell all will show their funny faces on the ending ep.

The finale airs May 16th and will be an hour long special.

‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’ Trailer Actually Looks Funny

Here’s the trailer for the upcoming romantic comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love starring Steve Carell.

I’m not one to be running out to watch romantic comedies usually, but this movie actually looks pretty funny. The dynamics and chemistry between the actors is evident from the trailer, what a great cast! I’m glad to see Steve Carell taking his career in the direction of film instead of sticking to TV.

Steve Carell is Keira Knightley’s ‘Friend For The End of The World’

Steve Carell is set to star in the new movie Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. Keira Knightley is likely to be the female lead.

In what shapes up as his first feature project after leaving The Office, Steve Carell will star in Seeking A Friend For The End of The World. The film marks the directorial debut of its screenwriter, Lorene Scafaria. Keira Knightley is in negotiations for the female lead. Mandate Pictures and Indian Paintbrush will co-finance and production begins in May. The film takes place at a time when mankind is forced to absorb the fact that an incoming asteroid will end humanity. Carell plays a man suddenly alone when his wife leaves in a panic. His high school sweetheart writes him saying she wants to be with him when the world stops. His neighbor (Knightley) accompanies him on the road trip as love blooms at the worst possible time. Despite the doomsday climax, the film has a somewhat comic and romantic tone.

Kind of an odd pairing of actors for an odd story. The concept of the film is interesting enough, but it sounds like it could be a big downer if it’s not done right. We already know Steve Carell is perfectly capable of pulling off seriousness as well as over-the-top comedy so this should be a good fit for him. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is a hefty title, I bet it will get shortened by the time it comes closer to release.

Steve Carell Is Exiting ‘The Office’ But What’s Up With Will Ferrell?

Steve Carell is finishing up his days at The Office.

Carell’s Michael Scott proposed to Holly (Amy Ryan) in a candlelit (and sprinkler raining) office on tonight’s “Garage Sale” and then duo announced they were heading off to Colorado.

The big question remains who will be the next Scranton Branch manager?

After tonight’s episode, the announcer popped on to say “Well, well, well. Look who’s gonna be the new boss” and out steps WILL FERRELL.

Ferrell gave Carell a big hug and twitter was immediately ablaze with the possibility of the new addition.

Now the casting of Ferrell in a four episode arc has been anticipated and along with Ricky Gervais and Will Arnett having guest spots on the season finale, but there has been no official announcement that Ferrell is permanently joining the Dunder-Mifflin team.

So what do you think? Is this all a big tease? Will we see another boss next season?

The next new episode of The Office isn’t until April 17th, so we’ve got lots of time to speculate.

Steve Carell Could Join Meryl Streep in ‘Great Hope Springs’

Steve Carell is in talks to join Meryl Streep in the upcoming film Great Hope Springs.

Steve Carell has begun negotiating to star with Meryl Streep in the David Frankel-directed Great Hope Springs, I’m told. Mandate Pictures is in talks with Carell to play Dr. Feld, a marriage therapist who tries to help a couple rekindle their loveless relationship after 31 years of marriage. Streep plays the wife and Frankel will soon set an actor to play her husband.

Meryl Streep and Steve Carell together in a movie seems almost strange. He’s about 90% comedy and she’s about 90% drama, maybe Carell is trying to step further into the world of dramatic acting? In any case, the movie doesn’t sound that exciting story-wise. Yet with actors like these my interest rises, we’ll have to wait and see what this one is like.

Aww Man, Steve Carrell Is Ditching The Office

Steve Carrell is breaking hearts across America.  Yes people, he is leaving The Office.  His seventh season will be his last as he tells E!,

“I just think it’s time.  When I first signed on I had a contract for seven seasons, and this coming year is my seventh. I just thought it was time for my character to go.”

Steve Carrell Quitting The Office – Series ENDING?!

Personally I don’t know how the show will be the show without him!  Michael Scott is the life of the show.  Sure all of the characters complete it, but without Carrell on board, I think the show will die.

What do you think?  Will The Office last without him?
