After purchasing a spec script from scribes Edwin Cannistraci and Frederick Seton for $1 million, Fox Atomic has got Jason Reitman and Jim Carrey onboard to make it happen.

Jim Carrey and Jason Reitman Team for Pierre Pierre


Reitman will direct and Jim Carrey is aboard to star in the comedy Pierre Pierre.

Considered a politically incorrect tale, Pierre Pierre centers on a self-indulgent French nihilist who transports a stolen painting from Paris to London. The laugher is moderately budgeted with $13 million, which reminds one that Carrey has been paid more than this in a single sitting.

The Reitman-Carrey spec package sparked a heated bidding war that came down to Universal, Mandate and Atomic.

Carrey can next be seen in Yes Man and heard in Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who.

Reitman recently earned an Oscar nom for Juno, a film that ended up earning Diablo Cody the Oscar win for best original screenplay.
