'Almighty' pay hike for Carell
08/25/05Steve Carell is making a deal to star for Universal in "Evan Almighty." Carell will likely increase his $500,000 salary for "The 40 Year Old Virgin" at least tenfold. Conceived for Jim Carrey until he declined to reprise his role in "Bruce Almighty," the sequel will take the news anchor character Carell played in that film and put him on an Almighty-inspired quest to build an ark in preparation for a great flood. Tom Shadyac will return as director, and Morgan Freeman is negotiating to encore as God. Steve Oedekerk wrote the script. Plans are for the film to begin production early next year for a holiday 2006 release. Carrey isn't expected to be in the movie at all, nor is Jennifer Aniston.
