Writer/director Lorene Scafaria (Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist) is attached to direct, with a cast that includes Steve Carell (Date Night), Keira Knightley (Never Let Me Go), Adam Brody (Scream 4) and Rob Corddry (Hot Tub Time Machine).
As an asteroid nears Earth, a man (Carell) finds himself alone after his wife leaves in a panic. He decides to take a road trip to reunite with his high school sweetheart (Knightley). Accompanying him is a neighbour who inadvertently puts a wrench in his plan.
Production on Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is scheduled to start later this month in Los Angeles, with a release date penciled in for 2012.
