According to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, Steve Carell and Keira Knightley are in talks to star in a comedy called, “Seeking a Friend at the End of the World”. <\/p>\n

The film chronicles the journey a man (Carell) takes to find a meaningful relationship amid the end times of the world. It’s wise to assume Knightley would be the person Carell’s character finds a connection with. <\/p>\n

The film is written by Lorene Scafaria, part of the all-female writing group known as the Fempire, which also includes Diablo Cody, Liz Meriwhether, and Dana Fox. <\/p>\n

The film’s principal photography will start in Los Angeles this May. <\/p>\n

What do you think about this film? Even though it’s a comedy, hopefully some won’t be too freaked out by the premise of the film, since 2012 is rumored by New-Agers to be THE END. (As an aside, according to actual descendants of Mayans, it’s just a date that got blown out of proportion; it’s just the end of the calendar, like how our calendar ends with December 31, but the mystique behind 2012 is something Hollywood only has a few more months to milk for all its worth. And weren’t 2000, 6\/6\/06, etc., supposed to be THE END?)<\/p>\n

In any case, give your “yay” or “nay” comments below. <\/p>\n
