For starters, the Office star's latest adventure will look slightly different than his time in Threat Level Midnight. Titled, The Rabbit Factor, the dark comedy will follow Henri Koskinen (played by Carell): a responsible and skilled mathematician who seemingly has it all figured out. That is, until his world gets turned upside down one fateful day.

There's good reason for that. The upcoming comedy is actually based on a Finnish book by the very same name, penned by award-winning author Antti Tuomainen.

Production, as well as a release date, unfortunately have yet to be announced. But don’t worry just yet, we’ve got lots of other Steve Carell adventures to tide us over in the meantime.
