Screenwriting partners John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein may have come from very different backgrounds (Daley from being an actor and Goldstein from being a lawyer), but their shared sense of humor and ability to collaborate with ease is what’s brought them the success that they’re currently experiencing in Hollywood. Clearly on a roll, with the hilariously raunchy comedy Horrible Bosses out this week, and a long list of upcoming and in-development projects, they are clearly a writing team to keep an eye on.

In this exclusive interview with Collider, John Francis Daley (Dr. Sweets on the Fox series Bones and Sam Weir on cult favorite Freaks & Geeks) and Jonathan Goldstein talked about how they came onto Horrible Bosses, which had been in limbo since 2005, how having the same sense of humor strengthens their work, what it was like to see the incredible cast bring their words to life, and how impressed they were with the lengths the actors went to for comedy. They also talked about their desire to direct (they just did a Funny or Die short), what it’s like to collaborate with Steve Carell on two upcoming projects – Burt Wonderstone and Of All The Things, their desire to reboot the Vacation franchise, developing a project with Steven Spielberg (Cal of the Wild), and how they hope to continue to diversify their portfolio so that they’re not just known for one thing. Check out what they had to say after the jump:

Steve Carell appears to have taken a vested interest in the screenwriting team Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, authors of the upcoming ensemble comedy Horrible Bosses.  Carell is circling the Goldstein/Daley-scripted magic comedy Burt Wonderstone.  According to Variety, he has now tapped the duo to script a feature adaptation of the music documentary Of All the Things.

The original film followed Dennis Lambert, a hitmaker in the 1970s and 80s.  Now 60 years old and selling real estate in Florida, he lets a Filipino concert producer convince him to tour.  Hit the jump for the full synopsis, plus a reminder of what else Carell is attached to.
