The upcoming movie landscape is looking really awesome. First we've got the Jonas Brothers (and the Bonus Jonas!) starring with a farting dog, and now we've got Steve Carell starring with a talking beaver. Undoubtedly cinema magic will soon be upon us. Says The Hollywood Reporter:

One of the hottest scripts in development circles at the moment centers on ... a beaver puppet?

Anonymous Content recently picked up "The Beaver," a script from first-time writer Kyle Killen about a man who walks around with a beaver puppet on his hand, treating it as something close to a human creature with human feelings. It's a whimsical and winning script, according to those who have seen it.

But the real selling point is the talent attached: Steve Carell, who could play the lead.

Aw nuts. When we heard talking beaver we were hoping for something more along the lines of the muttering muff movie Chatterbox!

Aw, so cute. Anne Hathaway, with her wide-eyed, gazelle-like innocent beauty, thinks you kiss people by rubbing eyeballs together. According to Anne, she gave Steve Carrell pinkeye while kissing for the filming of Get Smart. Anne explains:

"There was a health scare last year and a certain contact solution, I won't say the name of it but it was the one that I use - gave you conjunctivitis. I also had a sinus infection at the same time. So I had to go up to Steve, my eye is red, puffy and dripping green - I'm snotty and I'm just like 'Come here!'"

Wow. A woman forcefully strongarming you into getting intimate. You lean in, your stomach doing flip-flops like you were on a roller coaster, as you lean in closer and closer towards the festering, inflamed mucuous membrane leaking yellow and green pus. Knowing that you'll soon come in contact with that hideous, crusty area, and wondering if you'll come out alive. Congratulations, Steve Carrell, you just found out what it's like to have sex with Paris HIlton. more »
