Is Steve Carell Evan Almighty?

Bruce Almighty was a really fun film. It was one of those films I had low expectations for, and ended up loving it by the time I walked out. Now it appears that the producers were keen to make a Bruce Almighty 2… however… Jim Carrey took a pass on the project and decided to not get involved. So thanks to the timely popularity of Steve Carell, all may not be lost.

The producers had the script reworked to have the film revolve around character Evan Baxter (Carell) from the first film and redub it “Evan Almighty”. No, I’m not kidding. And honestly… I could see this working. The good folks over at Empire give us this:

They’ve come up with the idea that God somehow winds up calling on Evan to build an ark in preparation for a great flood. Don’t ask, because we don’t know any more than that yet, but there’s more good news – Morgan Freeman is set to return as God, and Tom Shadyac will make himself comfortable once again in the director’s chair.

If this is indeed all true, then you can count me amongst those looking forward to it.
