Universal Pics and Illumination Entertainment are gearing up to bring Dr. Seuss' "The Lorax" to the big screen as a 3D animated feature.

First published in 1971, "Lorax" follows the consequences that ensue when a greedy entrepreneur strips a forest of its Truffula trees despite the warnings from a man-like creature called the Lorax.

Variety says Universal has set the film's release for March 2, 2012, with Chris Renaud, Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio directing. Paul and Duario ("Horton Hears a Who!")will write the script.

Hard to believe, but I've never read a Dr. Seuss book. Maybe it's got something ot do with me growing up in Europe. Who knows...

Steve Carell has joined the voice cast of Chris Renaud and Pierre Coffin's upcoming 3D-animated family flick "Despicable Me."

According to Variety, Jason Segel, Kristen Wiig, Will Arnett, Danny McBride, Russell Brand, Jemaine Clement, Jack McBrayer and Julie Andrews are also on board.

Carell will give his voice to Groo, an evil man who plans to steal the moon. While his evil mother encourages him to execute his plan, Groo runs into trouble when he's unexpectedly put in charge of three orphan girls.

Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio, the team behind "Horton Hears a Who!," wrote the script. Chris Meledandri will lead production of the project, which is scheduled for a 2010 release.

Carell was last seen in "Get Smart." The comedian actor known for his role on "The Office" has several projects coming up, including "Date Night" with Tina Fey and "The Beaver," in which he walks around with a beaver puppet.
