Graham Cast In Evan

Lauren Graham has been cast as the female lead, opposite Steve Carell, in Universal's Evan Almighty, Tom Shadyac's sequel to Bruce Almighty, Variety reported. The movie has just begun shooting. John Goodman also joins the cast.

Graham (TV's Gilmore Girls) will play Carell's wife. Goodman will play a congressman who mentors Carell's character. Morgan Freeman returns as God.

Steve Oedekerk and Shadyac wrote the script, which centers on Carell's Evan Baxter anchorman character, who babbled on air in the original Bruce. Evan has become a politician in the sequel and ends up getting an audience with God, who instructs him to build an ark to prepare for a massive flood.

Universal is owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.
