Steve Carell (The 40-Year-Old Virgin), reprising his role as the polished, preening newscaster Evan Baxter of Bruce Almighty, is the next one anointed by God to accomplish a holy mission in the hilarious new comedy Evan Almighty.

Newly elected to Congress, Evan leaves Buffalo behind and shepherds his family to suburban northern Virginia.

Once there, his life gets turned upside-down when God (Morgan Freeman) appears and mysteriously commands him to emulate Noah by building an ark.

Evan's family cannot decide whether Evan is having an extraordinary mid-life crisis or is truly onto something of Biblical proportions.

Director Tom Shadyac (The Nutty Professor, Liar Liar, Bruce Almighty) returns behind the camera for this next episode of divine intervention.

This time, however, his cast grows two-by-two.

Release date: August 3rd 2007
