Before he was the 40-year-old virgin, Steve Carell<\/a> had a hilarious cameo role as the competition news anchor to Jim Carey’s Bruce in “Bruce Almighty<\/a>.” Now, Universal Pictures plans to release a Summer 2007 follow-up called “Evan Almighty,” with Carell as its central character.<\/p>\n

“Evan Almighty<\/a>” will see the return of Morgan Freeman<\/a> playing the part of God, who informs Evan (Carell)–an anchorman-turned-politician–that a flood is coming so he must build an Ark in the style of Noah.<\/p>\n

In my opinion, Carell’s few minutes on screen during “Bruce Almighty” completely stole Jim Carrey’s thunder. That, together with Carell’s recent successes in “Anchorman” and “Virgin,” makes me think that “Evan Almighty” will be a Summer ’07 must-see.<\/p>\n
