Franco & Wahlberg Go On Date Night
With Tina Fey and Steve Carell

Franco & Wahlberg Go On Date Night

The cast for Date Night keeps getting better and better looking, with the news that Mark Wahlberg and James Franco have signed on to join the Steve Carell/Tina Fey comedy. They round out an ensemble that's testament to how hot Carell and Fey have become.

As the name suggests, the plot sees a married couple, played by, Fey and Carell, out on a "date night" without the kids. Their planned dinner, however, goes horribly wrong.

Wahlberg will apparently play an "crazily buff and successful" securities expert who hits on Fey; Franco will play a rather dim con man.

The cast also includes Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester as the couple's babysitter, rapper Common as a villain, Fey's Saturday Night Live cohort Kristen Wiig as Fey's character's best friend, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button's Oscar-nominated Taraji P. Henson as the one cop who believes that the couple are in danger.

A Night At The Museum's Shawn Levy is directing, with Shrek The Third screenwriter Josh Klausner responsible for the script. But Fey and Carell, right? It's gotta be good.
