Justin Theroux To Direct Will Ferrell & Steve Carell In 'Swear To God'
Justin Theroux's career as a triple threat actor, director, and writer continues. Coming off another strong comedic turn in this year's hippie colony comedy "Wanderlust," Theroux is set to follow-up his underrated feature-film debut, "Dedication" with a new comedy called, "Swear To God."
Even better, his A-list cast will include Will Ferrell and Steve Carell, who will reunite sometime later this year (or early next year) for "Anchorman 2." A Warner Bros./Gary Sanchez comedy that's been sitting in the development queue since last summer with Ferell at the center, the comedy will focus on a narcissistic hedge fund manager who thinks he has seen God. Previously written by "Due Date" scribes Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland, Theroux, who's also forged a strong career as a screenwriter ("Iron Man 2," "Tropic Thunder"), will rewrite the script.
