*Janelle Monae and Leslie Mann will join Steve Carell in an upcoming drama from director Robert Zemeckis.
Based on Jeff Malmberg’s 2010 documentary “Marwencol,” the untitled feature follows a man who builds a miniature WWII-era village as a way to recover from a violent assault. Zemeckis co-wrote the screenplay with Caroline Thompson.
