Tina Fey and Steve Carell are set to star in a new movie called "Date Night." Fey and Carell will portray married couple Claire and Phil Foster in this new comedy.

The story centers on a picture perfect couple whose seemingly normal date night of dinner and a movie takes many unexpected turns. Fey and Carell aren't the only big names to star in this movie. They're joined by an all-star cast that will certainly generate a box office hit.

Mark Wahlberg plays a successful and crazily buff securities expert who flirts with Fey’s character. James Franco portrays a not-too-bright con man and petty criminal. Leighton Meester is onboard as the couple’s babysitter.

Taraji Henson plays the one good cop who believes the couple is in danger, and Common portrays a villain. Kristen Wiig rounds out the cast as the actress’ best friend.

The movie directed by Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum, Cheaper By the Dozen), who is known for films that revolve around family problems, from the script by Josh Klausner also stars Ray Liotta, Mila Kunis, Mark Ruffalo, William Fichtner and Olivia Munn.
