"J.A.G." series star Catherine Bell has closed a deal to head to the big screen, joining Jim Carrey, Jennifer Aniston and Morgan Freeman in Universal Pictures' spiritual comedy "Bruce Almighty."

Shooting is under way on the Tom Shadyac-directed project, which stars Carrey as Bruce Nolan, a New York television reporter who is discontented with nearly everything in life despite his popularity and the love of his girlfriend, Grace (Aniston). At the end of the worst day of his life, Bruce rages against God -- and God (Freeman) responds by handing over his job to Bruce.

Bell will star as Carrey's co-worker, a fellow newscaster.

Shadyac, Carrey, Jim Brubaker and Michael Bostick are producing the project along with executive producers Roger Birnbaum and Gary Barber of Spyglass Entertainment and associate producers Linda Fields-Hill and Janet Wattles.

At the studio, the project is being overseen by production president Scott Stuber and vp production Holly Bario. Steven Koren and Mark O'Keefe penned the screenplay with a rewrite by Steve Oedekerk.

Bell currently stars as Sarah "Mac" MacKenzie on the CBS series "J.A.G.," which is entering its eighth season this month. She is repped by Innovative Artists and Francis Okwu at Anthem Entertainment.
