The thing that sets Steve Carell apart from a lot of today’s comedic actors is that he has much more range. He can jump in and out of the genre and look just as comfortable in anything he does (Little Miss Sunshine for example). So when I first heard about “Dan in Real Life” I was instantly interested. Here’s the synopsis from our friends at Cinematical:
Dan (Carell) is a widower and parenting columnist trying to raise three girls. The current plot outline says: “A widower finds out the woman he fell in love with is his brother’s girlfriend.” Last year, it was three brothers competing for the woman’s affections, so maybe that will still happen too. And yes, oh yes, Juliette Binoche is the lucky lady.
I’m looking forward to this… and the poster is excellent:
