August 3, 2010 (Pen Men at Work): ‘Dinner For Schmucks’ happens to be the latest motion picture in which the actor, Steve Carell, has been a protagonist. Sandra Bullock, the actress of ‘The Blindside’, is now steadily reintegrating herself with the world of entertainment. It has now been reported that the two have enrolled themselves in production of ‘The Abstinence Teacher’. There is a book of the same name that was written by the author, Tom Perrotta, and was released in 2007. This book is now being converted into a film, which would consist of the abovementioned actor and actress. The theme of the book is ripe to magnetize controversy. Therefore, this film could engender heated deliberations.

The book of Tom Perrotta revolves around a broadminded sex education instructor (Sandra Bullock) and a devoutly Christian soccer coach (Steve Carell). These two individuals amazingly fall in love with each other. Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris are likely to be the directors of this film. These two happened to be the co-directors of the well-liked ‘Little Miss Sunshine’.

If Bullock has indeed joined ‘The Abstinence Teacher’, she would have to act out the character of a female, who is annoyed by her traditionalist neighbors. Some analysts have mentioned that the competent twosome could engender a strong impact with their performances if the film is executed appropriately.

‘Dinner For Schmucks’ progressed quite well at the box office until it was left behind the incredibly triumphant Inception. The accomplished Carell has participated in several movies of late and it seems that he will be extremely occupied in the near future as well.

Sandra Bullock has undergone an excessive amount of turmoil in her personal life recently. She has had to dissociate herself rather rancorously from her unfaithful hubby, Jesse James. She has, in the last few weeks, come into view publicly. Her initial significant emergence was at the MTV Awards where she lipped Scarlett Johansson. Bullock has clarified that the recent unpleasant controversies associated with her personal life are not going to deter her in any way. She is not going to become a recluse and will vigorously continue her impressive career in films.

There are, however, obstacles that need to be surmounted. The schedules of Bullock and Carell need to match. Some political leftists in America have mentioned that such a romantic story, which is not in sync with quintessential rightist standpoints, would be fabulous to watch.
