Steve Carell is planning to remake Peter Sellers's 1967 comedy The Bobo, say reports.

The Get Smart actor would like Eva Mendes to star opposite him in the project, according to the New York Post.

The Bobo starred Sellers as matador Juan Bautista and Britt Ekland as his love interest.

"Carell is a huge Sellers fan, and this is one of his favourite movies," said a source. "Seeing him in a matador outfit with a Spanish Castilian accent could be very funny."
