Carell to take on Sellers
Movie remake in the pipeline
The Office USA star Steve Carell is set to take on the mantle of Peter Sellers in a new movie remake.Carell is reportedly to remake 1967 film The Bobo, which originally starred Sellers and Britt Ekland, his wife at the time.
An unnamed source told New York Post gossip column PageSix: ‘Carell is a huge Sellers fan, and this is one of his favourite movies. Seeing him in a matador outfit with a Spanish Castilian accent could be very funny.’
Eva Mendes is said to be favourite to take on Ekland's role.
