Steve Carell to play a soccer dad on the lam in 'Lunatics'

Universal has purchased the rights to the comedic novel "Lunatics" by Dave Barry and Alan Zweibel
as a starring vehicle for Steve Carell, with Carell also producing through his Carousel Productions.

The novel, which doesn't hit stores until January 10th, tells the story of two men: Philip Horkman,
a happy-go-lucky New Jersey pet store owner who serves as a referee for kids' soccer games on the
weekends; and Jeffrey Peckerman, a cynical soccer dad whose minor feud with Horkman escalates
to the point where the two are eventually pursued by law enforcement, terrorists, soldiers and
some guy dressed up as "Chuck E. Cheese". Carell would play the Horkman role.

Steve Carell is attached to star in and produce Conviction

... a heist film that was bought as a spec script two years ago by Warner Bros and Silver Pictures.
The script by Jonathan Herman, which made the Black List, follows a mastermind bank robber
who serves five years in prison following a botched heist who is forced by an FBI agent to entrap
his protege as the upstart pulls off a multimillion-dollar job. The original script had a Heat tone,
but it stalled. It is being turned into an action comedy with a tone similar to 48 Hours and Ocean’s
Eleven, with Carell at its center.
