Wilde would be playing the love interest of Carell's title character--seemingly beating out, Michelle Monaghan, Judy Greer, Sarah Silverman and Jessica Biel for the part--while Buscemi wiould play the role of his longtime friend and former partner. James Gandolfini co-stars
Don Scardino directs from a script that has seen its share of writers taking a crack at it including Jason Reitman, Chad Kultgen, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein.
