A few more details emerge about that Errol Morris scripted comedy via a Yahoo story:
Although the many elements in "Everything" would seem to make for an unruly lasso job, Morris has a penchant for pulling together disparate subjects, as he did with the exploration of four seemingly unrelated characters in 1997's "Fast, Cheap & Out of Control."

"This is a new idea of how to blend drama with reality," Morris said of "Everything." Although actors will be cast and the script developed in the manner of fiction films, real-life photographs will be used as source material. Morris has a history of using dramatic conventions in documentaries; re-enactments in movies like "The Thin Blue Line" are credited with invigorating the genre, though they helped get that film disqualified from Oscar documentary contention.
