Steve Carell remaking Peter Sellers?

A rumour is going around that the 1967 Peter Sellers/Britt Ekland comedy The Bobo is getting a remake which will star Steve Carell (Get Smart) and Eva Mendes (The Women). The original British comedy, which was based on a novel by Burt Cole, tells of a matador who dreams of being a singer and is promised a big break if he manages to seduce the most beautiful girl in Barcelona.

This is one of [Carell’s] favorite movies. Seeing him in a matador outfit with a Spanish Castilian accent could be very funny
