Carla Gugino Joins Mr. Popper’s Penguins

In a move that adds a little spice to the equation, the beautiful Carla Gugino (Watchmen, Sucker Punch) will be joining Jim Carrey in the adaptation of the popular children’s book, Mr. Popper’s Penguins.

The film, which was written by Jared Stern (a rewrite of Sean Anders and John Morris’ original script), is being directed by Mark Waters (Mean Girls). I think it is safe to assume that Gugino will be playing the female lead alongside Carrey. I also believe the film has a lot potential and with Carrey in the spotlight, I think he will nail this role accordingly.

Here is the plot as summarized by Variety:

“Mr. Popper is a high-powered, New York buisnessman who suddenly inherits six penguins. Taking care of the animals is no easy matter, and he quickly hits major hurtles, both at home and at work. But along the way, he learns the value of family and friendship–human and otherwise.”
