EXCLUSIVE: Universal Pictures has set David Flebotte to rewrite its untitled FBI Wedding comedy, the one that has Steve Carell attached to star and his Carousel Productions partners Charlie Hartsock and Vance Degeneres producing with Sparkler Entertainment’s Charles Segers and Landscape Entertainment’s Bob Cooper. The scribe takes over a script originated by Phil Alden Robinson. It’s in the vein of Stakeout and My Best Friend’s Wedding.
Universal production veep Kristin Lowe will oversee the comedy. Flebotte is represented by CAA and attorney Philip Klein. Carell and his Carousel cohorts produced The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, which New Line opens March 15. He’s repped by WME, Media Four’s Steve Sauer and attorneys Sam Fischer and Bryan Wolf.

A script originated by Phil Alden Robinson? Boy, there’s a guy you’d think would be more prolific. Does he choose to work so little? Or is he one of those filmmakers who spends years trying to develop his own material while turning down for-hire jobs? His last gig as a director was THE SUM OF ALL FEARS, which made almost $200M global despite being perceived as a failure in the dark days of America’s irrational love/hate for Ben Affleck. Regardless, I’m a proud member of the cult that worships at the altar of SNEAKERS. It sounds like the Carell FBI wedding comedy could be in similar vein — a caper story.
Let’s hope Carrell and Carousel have some input on the rewrite because this could really go either way.
Will Hollywood please, please stop putting Carell in movies! I’m begging!
Agreed, Steve Carell has unfortunately turned into the new Adam Sandler.
Dave Flahblawt is wicked good. He’s wicked funny and a pissah.
Dave Flebotte is the funniest guy in the business and the best to work with. Great choice.
Sounds like another flop for Mr. ‘too big for tv’.
I really want to get The Dana Carvey Show on DVD. Carrell was in that and from what I’ve seen of that old show is generally funny.They did this ‘Germans who say nice things’ bit.
You see, I found a way to not make a negative comment from this guy.
