Carter and Bates are set to join The Young and Prodigious Spivet, formerly titled The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet. In taking another stab at an English-language film (the first happened to be Alien: Resurrection ), Jeunet will adapt Reif Larson’s debut novel that “tells the story of a 12-year-old cartographer’s cross-country adventure from Montana to the Smithsonian Museum. Project fits into Jeunet’s body of work as it explores the imaginative mind of a child, mixing realism and fantasy.” Kyle Catlett has been cast in the starring role with Callum Keith Rennie (Memento) playing his father.  Amelie screenwriter Guillaume Laurent is also on board.  Filming is set to begin in Alberta, Canada on June 20th with an October 2013 release date being eyed.

Finally, Deadline is reporting the addition of Greenfield to They Came Together. Greenfield will star as Rudd's "wayward, couch-surfing brother" in the romantic comedy parody that reunites Rudd, Poehler and Wain (Wet Hot American Summer).
