Although seemingly every new dawn brings fresh news of “Steve Carell’s first film project after The Office,” Deadline is now insisting (again) that he will go straight from the show to making Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World, in which he plays a guy whose confronting of imminent apocalypse is slightly abated by Keira Knightley falling in love with him. Seeking will be directed by its screenwriter, Lorene Scafaria of Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist, who once again uses an impromptu road trip and the search for another girl as the backdrop for blossoming romance, as Carell—abandoned by his panicky wife—journeys to be with his high-school sweetheart before an asteroid collides with Earth and takes his incredibly pretty yet apparently completely alone neighbor with him.
