Reitman and Carrey Say "Mais Oui!" to New Comedy
Jason Reitman, hot off his accolades for
Juno, and
Jim Carrey have said, "Mais oui!" to direct and star in, respectively, the new comedy,
Pierre, Pierre.
The Fox Atomic film follows a nihilistic, self-indulgent French man who brings a stolen painting from Paris to London. If the premise didn't give it away already, the film will be "politically incorrect," according to
Variety.
For Reitman, the flick will be a brief break sandwiched by
Diablo Cody projects: Next up for him is the Cody movie
Jennifer's Body, which is billed as a comedy-thriller about a cheerleader from hell (unlike real-life cheerleaders, with apologies to Hayden Panetierre's Claire).
