Another Almighty In Production
May 31, 2006“And that’s the way the cookie crumbles…” was Jim Carey’s famous line as Bruce Nolan in the 2003 comedy flick Bruce Almighty. This has got to be one of my favorite comedy films ever! Unforgettably hilarious! I could still remember some scenes clearly even though it has been more than a year since I’ve last watched the full film.
One particular scene that I could never ever get out of my mind was that of Steve Carell’s(40-Year Old Virgin, Bewitched, Over the Hedge). The one where Bruce(Carey), in a desperate urge to oust and replace Evan(Carell) in his position as news anchor, uses his power to mislead his culprit. In the scene, Evan, together with his fellow anchor Susan(Catherine Bell), is in the midst of an on-air report and Bruce alters the prompter into gibberish…causing chaos in the newsroom which apparently lead to Evan’s termination. It was, for me, the funniest scene in the whole movie. Carell did a spectacular job!
Yes, Carell indeed was spectacular as Evan that Universal Pictures actually decided to turn him into an Almighty as, well. Yes, peepz…a Bruce Almighty 2 is now in production and it’s entitled Evan Almighty with, of course, Steve Carell playing the lead.
The synopsis goes below:
