'Date Night' Should Be Set For Big Pay Day at Box Office

Tina Fey and Steve CarellYou know those movies that sound like a hit the moment you hear about them? I think you can safely file "Date Night" under that category.

The movie is about a couple on a date night from Hell and stars Tina Fey and Steve Carell as the couple (and are you as surprised as I am that it doesn't star Ben Stiller?).

And aside from that superstar pairing, the movie will feature Mark Wahlberg, James Franco, Leighton Meester, Kristen Wiig and Common in supporting roles.

According to Variety, Wahlberg will play a "successful and crazily buff securities expert who flirts with Fey's character." Franco will play "a not-too-bright conman and petty criminal." Meester wil be the couple's babysitter, Common will play a villain and Wiig will portray Fey's best friend.

Directed by Shawn Levy ("Night at the Museum"), "Date Night" is slated to be released in 2010.
