Steve Carell might be getting another chance to show off his singing voice (or at least pretend he is).
The funnyman is reportedly considering a project based on the real-life story of music producer/songwriter Dennis Lambert, a hitmaker (“Rhinestone Cowboy”, “We Built This City”) who released a solo album that stiffed in the States but became a gigantic success in the Philippines.
While working real estate in Florida as a post-music career, Lambert was long pursued to perform in the Pacific island country that adored him, ultimately acquiescing for a concert tour captured in a documentary called OF ALL THE THINGS (the title of his biggest “hit”).
According to Vulture, Warner Bros. is after the rights to the little-seen documentary, with plans to adapt Lambert’s story for Carell to croon for Southeast Asians.
