Reitman and Carrey to team for 'Pierre Pierre'

This is pretty interesting news. Pierre Pierre was a pretty hot commodity last year as far as movie scripts go and sparked a bidding war before being purchased for a million bucks. It was picked up by Fox Atomic (which may or may not be bad news depending on how you view their track record) and now there are two big names attached.

Jason Reitman, hot off of his last film Juno is attached to direct and Jim Carrey is set to play the lead. According to Variety, the "politically incorrect story centers on a self-indulgent French nihilist who transports a stolen painting from Paris to London."
