John Carney May Tame Dogs Of Babel

With Steve Carell still attached...When music-driven romantic drama Once hit it large in 2006, you may have expected author/director John Carney to become clicked as much as direct some focus on some Hollywood project starring a large title. But rather, he elected to deal with a remake of their own comedy short Zonad before switching tracks for supernatural drama The Rafters. Now, though, he may be onto a larger job, entering final discussions to direct Dogs Of Babel.We spoken concerning the project in Feb, when Steve Carell first grew to become attached. Don't go worrying this will probably be some huge action comedy, though: Dogs is really a more maudlin drama in regards to a linguistics professor looking into his wife's dying.The thing is, as the police consider her dying any sort of accident, Paul Iverson (Carell) thinks otherwise. Along with the couple's dog Lorelei the only real living witness towards the incident, Iverson starts to try and train her to talk so she will reveal what really happened.This is an odd premise, modified from Carolyn Parkhurst's novel by author Jamie Linden. There is no word on when it'll start shooting, but when Carney locks inside a deal, which should use it track for filming the coming year.
