Anchorman co-stars Steve Carell and Paul Rudd are reuniting in a new comedy.

The pair, who played news reporters in the 2004 hit starring Will Ferrell, have both signed up to appear in Dinner For Schmucks, a remake of French film Le Diner De Cons.

The movie, directed by Jay Roach, will start shooting later this year, reports Empire Online.

Carell, who previously starred in the US version of The Office as well as a moodier role in Little Miss Sunshine, will also get to show his versatility in another forthcoming comedy called Hi-T. In it he plays a man coping with huge mood swings following testosterone injections he takes to treat an injury.
