Steve Carell is set to play the lead role in the new film “The Adventures of Brigadier Gerard”. The story is about a soldier who was described as the bravest soldier in Napoleon’s army  – and also the dumbest. Carell has definitely made a living in characters such as this – Get Smart has that similar twist.

Carell already has tons of projects lined up. He’s currently set to star alongside Tina Fey for “Date Night” along with a sequel to “Get Smart.” He’s also just set up a production company that will develop comedies for Warner Bros.
