Napoleon Spoof For Carell

Hollywood funnyman STEVE CARELL is set to play a foolish French general in a spoof of the Napoleonic Wars.

The 40-Year-Old Virgin star will reportedly play the title character in new movie The Adventures of Brigadier Gerard.

The film will be set during Napoleon’s notorious rule over Europe, with Carell playing a “brave and dumb” soldier.

The tale is based upon stories by Sherlock Holmes author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, according to Variety.
