Acclaimed director Richard Linklater has made Last Flag Flying his latest project, and signed on some major stars to the cast.
Last Flag Flying is still in early development, and a release date is yet to be set.
At the same time, if Carell occupies the film in a more comedic role, perhaps he can balance out the combined gravitas of Cranston and Fishburne.
The Last Detail, directed by Hal Ashby and starring Jack Nicholson, Otis Young, and Randy Quaid, received widespread acclaim after its 1973 release – including a BAFTA Best Actor win for Nicholson.
