Steve Carell, Tina Fey marry for ‘Date Night’

Steve Carell and Tina Fey have signed on to play husband and wife in Shawn Levy’s “Date Night” for 20th Century Fox, according to Variety.

In the film written by Josh Klausner, the married couple discovers their usual date night goes beyond dinner and a movie. That’s all we know about the plot at this stage.

Levy, whose directing credits include “Cheaper by the Dozen” and “Night at the Museum,” is currently filming “Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian.”

Carell most recently starred alongside Anne Hathaway in “Get Smart.” Fey was last seen opposite Amy Poehler in “Baby Mama.”

Both Carell and Fey are looking at potential Emmy wins for their television comedy shows “The Office” and “30 Rock.”

Neither “Baby Mama” nor “Get Smart” really won me over, but that doesn’t mean Fey and Carell will fail to pull this off. In fact, the pairing of the two for a big-screen comedy sounds pretty interesting. Let’s hope the script is worth it.
