I have heard everything on loglines. This one is really below the belt. Steve Carell will star in and produce testosterone comedy Hi-T for Warner Bros.
Perhaps, the studio is taking this concept on because it’s so ridiculous like 40 Year Old Virgin but proved out at the box office. Hi-T revolves around a man dealing with uncontrollable mood swings after an injury forces him to take testosterone injections.
I believe Hemingway covered this topic well in The Sun Also Rises. Hemingway didn’t call it mood swings. He called it “he had it real bad.”
