Fans of NBC's Thursday night lineup have reason to smile with the announcement that two of today's funniest television actors will hit the big screen as man and wife.

According to 'Variety.com', Steve Carell (who plays hilariously deluded boss Michael Scott on "The Office") and Tina Fey (whip-smart Liz Lemon on "30 Rock") are to play a married couple in Date Night.

Shawn Levy (Night At the Museum) is set to direct while Josh Klausner will pen the script about a couple whose quiet date night goes well beyond the dinner and a movie they had planned.

The director told 'Variety' that he intends to focus on a relatable couple who are striving to keep their marriage interesting, making Fey and Carell suitable choices since "the tone of their comedy perfectly fits this film."

Production is set to begin next year.
