'Dan' finds a love interest

French thesp inks for Carell pic

Juliette Binoche will star alongside Steve Carell in "Dan in Real Life," the Touchstone romantic comedy to be directed by Peter Hedges.

In the pic, which starts shooing in October, Carell plays a widower with three daughters who writes a parenting advice column but finds all his well-honed formulas tested when he goes on a family vacation and falls in love with the girlfriend of his younger brother. Binoche will play that girl, and Dane Cook plays his sibling.

Pierce Gardner wrote the script and Jon Shestack is producing. Brad Epstein is overseeing the pic for the studio.

Binoche, last seen in "Cache," just completed "Breaking and Entering" for the Weinstein Co.
