According to Deadline, Golden Globe winner Steve Carell has officially signed on to star opposite Ryan Reynolds in Paramount Pictures’ upcoming fantasy comedy film titled IF.
The project marks a reunion between Carell and director John Krasinski after eight years since NBC’s hit sitcom The Office ended its nine-season run.
It will be produced by Krasinski, Allyson Seeger, and Andrew Form through their Sunday Night banner, along with Reynolds for Maximum Effort.
The project has been in development since 2019, with Paramount Pictures winning the rights to the project in a bidding war against multiple studios.
