Will Ferrell and Steve Carell have signed on to star together in Swear to God, with actor-screenwriter Justin Theroux locked in to make his directorial debut on the Warner Bros, according to Deadline.
The comedy centres on Will Ferrell’s character, an arrogant hedge fund manager whose life is turned upside down when he becomes convinced that he actually saw God. No details are currently know for Steve Carell’s character.
Justin Theroux will direct and rewrite the screenplay that was originally penned by Due Date scribes Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland. Shooting is scheduled to begin next July, after Will Ferrell wraps on Anchorman: The Legend Continues.
