‘Dumb and Dumber 2′ is coming – and it’s slated to start shooting in September!
Co-director Peter Farrelly has confirmed the news that a sequel to the hit 1994 comedy is in the works.
The movie starred Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels as two dumb friends travelling across the country.
Peter told ComingSoon.net: “We’re getting set to shoot Dumb And Dumber 2 in September. It’s the first sequel we’ve ever done and we’ve got Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back.”
2003 saw the release of prequel Dumb And Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd, but it did not feature the original stars. Farrelly emphasised: “We did not do Dumb And Dumberer. That was a studio thing.
“So we’ve always wanted to do a sequel and Jim called up. Jeff always wanted to do it. We always wanted to do it. Jim was busy, but he called and said, ‘We’ve got to do this thing again’. He had just watched Dumb And Dumber and he said, ‘This is the perfect sequel. Let’s do it.”
Farrelly will once again direct with his brother Bob, and Sean Anders and John Morris will write the screenplay.
‘Dumb and Dumber’ was one of my favorite comedies back in the 90′s. It really was hilarious! I’m not sure how I feel about a sequel, because usually they suck… but maybe this one won’t be so bad!
Shortly after being nominated for two Golden Globes, Ryan Gosling is wrapping up 2011 with a hilarious new Funny or Die video.
The “Ides of March,” “Crazy, Stupid, Love.” and “Drive” star features in an egg nog-filled rendition of Funny or Die’s “Drunk History,” mouthing the words of a delightfully drunk narrator who is reading “The Night Before Christmas.” Seeing Gosling in long pajamas and a sleeping cap is funny enough — the guy really refuses to take himself seriously, to his vast credit — but the lady in bed next to him really makes the headlines.
With her eyes closed but a smile on her face, Eva Mendes looks happy as a bundled up kid on Christmas Eve. And if rumors are true — and this video either spoofs on them or confirms them — she’s had an extended most wonderful time of the year. Gosling and Mendes are rumored to be dating, a suspicion that was amped up when Gosling visited Mendes while she was filming a movie in France in November.
The video moves beyond the gossip once Jim Carrey, as Santa Claus, shows up, and all in all, it’s an early gift from Time’s Coolest Person of the Year.
The thing that makes this video so stinking hilarious is the fact that the narrator actually IS drunk. Hilarious!
Jim Carrey was spotted holding hands with a woman in New York City this afternoon. No word on who the super-skinny woman is… I’ll keep searching though!
In other Jim Carrey news, the comedian has just signed on to star in a new movie alongside Steve Carell!
Jim Carrey is negotiating to star with Steve Carell in Burt Wonderstone, the Don Scardino-directed New Line comedy. Carell plays the title character, a Las Vegas magician who breaks with his longtime stage partner and finds himself upstaged by a rival hip street magician who is stealing his thunder. Carrey is coming off Mr. Popper’s Penguins and I Love You, Philip Morris. The film’s produced by Carell’s Carousel banner. Carrey last made The Number 23 with New Line, but he launched his star there with The Mask and Dumb and Dumber.
According to Jim Carrey, he was just kidding when he declared his love for actress Emma Stone. Except – he was completely serious.
The star took to Twitter on Thursday to address what he said to Stone, in which he said, “I just wanted to let you know that I think you’re all the way beautiful. Not just pretty, but, you know, smart and kindhearted. And if I were a lot younger, I would marry you, and we would have chubby little freckled faced kids.”
“Yes, my msg to Emma Stone was a comedy routine and the funniest part is that everything i said is tru,” he tweeted, before continuing, “People often ask me if i’m being funny or serious. The answer is “YES”. ?;^]”
Jim Carrey just released a very creepy video in which he declares his love to 22-year-old actress Emma Stone. In the video he claims he daydreams about their wedding – and sex. (Creepy?) Carrey doesn’t seem to be sarcastic in the video – and the two aren’t working on any movie together, so he’s not promoting anything.
He, of course, could be joking, which would make it hilarious given how inexplicable it is and how straight he plays it. Do you think he’s joking?
I just wanted to let you know that I think you’re all the way beautiful. Not just pretty, but, you know, smart and kindhearted. And if I were a lot younger, I would marry you, and we would have chubby little freckled faced kids. We’d laugh all day long and go camping and play Yahtzee and tell ghost stories by the fire. And the sex?
Everyday for the rest of your life, you would thank God that I was the appropriate age for you. But I’m not. I’m 49. I have lines on my face, sometimes a little grey in my beard, and it takes me a little longer to pee than it used to. Those are the only discernable signs of aging that I can find so far. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how I felt. You’re pretty special, and I wish you continued success and artistic fulfillment, but most of all, I wish you love and contentment. That’s all.
It sorta seems like an inside joke – doesn’t it? It’s just so weird!
Jim Carrey has signed on alongside many other guest actors to star in the 50-minute finale of ‘The Office’.
With star Steve Carell just one episode away from leaving the show after seven long, gloriously awkward seasons, the show’s producers have worked to create a massive mystery and induce international intrigue over who will replace him as the boss at the fictional regional paper company. Will Ferrell has temporarily taken over, under the guise of DeAngelo Vickers, but the longterm replacement is still up in the air.
It was announced in March that Will Arnett and series creator Ricky Gervais would guest star in the finale, while earlier in April Ray Romano, James Spader and Catherine Tate were added to the episode. All five have been teased as potential longterm hires, though Arnett, Gervais and Romano, because of previous commitments, are unlikely to be the choice. Ferrell, who was supposed to appear in the season finale, will now no longer do so.
With Carrey being added as a late entrant, the future of Dunder Mifflin gets even murkier. Executive producer Paul Lieberstein, who also plays Toby on the show, recently revealed that current employees will make a play for the job, though it doesn’t seem there’s much of a chance that they’ll be hiring from within.
In a new interview with HitFix.com, series star John Krasinski spoke about the excitement of the change.
“The show sans-Steve it’s a whole new show so we’re actually really excited,” he said. “The last two episodes this year are without Steve and without Will and they were awesome. They were really, really fun and as much as we will miss Steve for sure it’s kind of great to pick up this show in a whole different way. It’s really fun.”
Interestingly, he also said he didn’t know who Carell’s replacement would be, and that there may not be a replacement so much as there is “a shift” in the show. Given that they’ve already filmed the final two episodes, Krasinski was either showing off his acting skills, or there is truly a surprise in store.
