Julianne Moore Joining 'Stupid, Crazy Love' With Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone?

One of our Twitter followers alerted us to the Hollywood 411 Facebook page which is reporting that Julianne Moore is joining the upcoming comedy “Stupid, Crazy Love” starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone.

The news is revealed under the caption of a photo which seems to indicate it’s something that Carell spilled the beans about while doing the red carpet for “Date Night.” We’re treating the news cautiously for now, but if true, it definitely marks a defined shift in direction for the actress, who has largely stuck to dramas. Her last stab at comedy was in 2005’s poorly received “Trust The Man,” directed by her husband Bart Freundlich.

As for “Stupid, Crazy Love” the film follows a sad-sack Dad (Carell) whose wife leaves him, while a womanizing bachelor (Gosling) takes him under his wing. There are no details on what role Moore will play though Stone’s role is apparently a lynchpin of sorts for the whole film. John Requa and Glenn Ficarra (“I Love You Phillip Morris”) are directing and we’re guessing production will be underway soon.
