Completely forgot he was in the remake of Sabrina. Another really fun performance.  He really showed his charm and humor in this movie.

Oscar nominees Greg Kinnear and Toni Collette will join Steve Carell in the road trip comedy Little Miss Sunshine for directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. Shooting will begin on June 6 in Los Angeles with Marc Turtletaub, Peter Saraf, Ron Yerxa, Albert Berger and David Friendly producing and Big Beach financing.

The project was purchased as a spec from writer Michael Arndt. The film centers on a family that traverses the country in a VW van in order to get their 8-year-old daughter to a young beauty pageant.

Kinnear, Oscar-nominated for As Good as It Gets, is currently working on Bad News Bears, while Collette, who received her Oscar nod for The Sixth Sense, just finished the Cameron Diaz co-starrer In Her Shoes. Carell currently stars in NBC's The Office and will soon be seen in Judd Apatow's The 40-Year-Old Virgin.

Dayton and Faris made their name as music video and commercial directors. Some of their work includes videos for The Red Hot Chili Poppers and the Smashing Pumpkins.
