Evan Almighty is a 2007 American fantasy comedy film that is a spin-off and sequel of Bruce Almighty (2003). The film was directed by Tom Shadyac, written by Steve Oedekerk, based on the characters created by Steve Koren and Mark O'Keefe from the original film. It stars Steve Carell and Morgan Freeman reprising their roles as Evan Baxter and God, respectively, with new cast members Lauren Graham and John Goodman. The film is a modern-day retelling of Noah's Ark, which Evan reluctantly re-enacts on God's behalf while he also pursues a new career in government.
Production of the film began in January 2006. Several visual effects companies were used to provide CGI for the numerous animals and the climactic tsunami scene. By the time the film had completed production, it had become the most expensive comedy film ever, which was later being overtaken by Men in Black 3.
