Steve Carell Teaming With Charlie Kaufman for I.Q. 83

steve-carell-charlie-kaufmanLooks like Steve Carell will star in an adaptation of Arthur Herzog’s 1978 science fiction novel I.Q. 83, with Charlie Kaufman doing a rewrite of the script Deadline reports.

The film based on the book will be about a scientist who accidentally creates and releases a virus on the population that makes everyone infected become progressively dumber. The scientist has to find a cure fast, before he’s too stupid to figure one out.
