Seems like they didn't want to pay the big bucks. He's in the 20 mil club right?

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Ohhh..........No...

Just no.

This a nightmare?!?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Seems like they didn't want to pay the big bucks. He's in the 20 mil club right?

They can afford to pay him whatever he asked. This movie WOULD have made bank.... Oh well.

 

[ToastyBanana]

Time to slash the budget and give these guys a call.

 

[MisterHero]

But Jim, think of the Jeff Danielses

 

[Extra Sauce]

By "showing a lack of enthusiasm for the project", does Jim Carrey mean "they won't pay me my standard 30 million dollars fee?"

In any case, this is a bummer. I love Jim Carrey, I love Dumb and Dumber, and I love sequels (yes really).

Cartoon spin off time.

 

[legacyzero]

Welp. Pack it up New Line. Shits gonna bomba like crazy without Carrey.

 

[jorma]

Seems like they didn't want to pay the big bucks. He's in the 20 mil club right?

But that would mean they announced him as "on board" without even having negotiated the pay. That sounds.. odd, but maybe shit works like that in Hollywood

Goodbye childhood.

 

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

Nooooooooo!! That movie was a classic. I used to put the TV up to full blast on the laxative part.

You have got to be kidding me.

"Hey fans we're making that movie you have been begging us to make for 15+ years.......actually no were not"

The good news is there's no inevitable disappointment this way.

 

[Alphahawk]

I predict this is just a move by Carey to get his way.

*Threaten to quit
*Newline calls his bluff
*Release press release stating that he's quit
*New Line falls over itself to get him back on

 

[UraMallas]

Bum & Bummer. I was really looking forward to this movie.

*New Line tells the Farrelly bother's to kill off Carey's character.

[Deleted member 1235]

Then I'm out.

edit: lol, it was titled Dumb and Dumber To? Fucking genius.

fucking great.

I mean the title. well. it was a good idea and the first one shall remain untarnished since no sequel ever, or any property ever associated with it, ever tried to ruin it ever.

I guess we have that.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Boooooooo.

I was hoping Lauren Holly would make an appearance.

 

[Meier]

Btw, the LA Times did a follow up..

Unless Jim Carrey changes his mind, Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema won't go ahead with a third film in the "Dumb and Dumber" series.

The actor's publicist on Tuesday told "Entertainment Tonight" that Carrey didn't expect to go ahead with a new sequel to the 1994 hit, reportedly out of frustration with the pace of development on the project, which the actor suggested should be called "Dumb and Dumber To."

A person close to the project but not authorized to speak publicly said the movie, to be written and directed by the duo behind the original, Bobby and Peter Farrelly, is still in active development at New Line. However, the Warner Bros. division does not want to go ahead with the movie unless Carrey will reprise his lead role.

Still holding out a bit of hope.

 

[Messypandas]

This sounds like he's getting a bit of momentum for the project. Nothing to worry about. I'm sure he'll sign back on when he remembers his career is still dead in the water

 

[DMczaf]

which the actor suggested should be called "Dumb and Dumber To"

genius.

 

[Silly.Mikey]

One way or another, the original is practically impossible to top. Might as well leave it be.

 

[Brera]

Dumb and Dumber probably is the greatest comedy ever. I was watching it yesterday. Fucking amazing shit!

Why did Carrey decide he wanted to be a serious actor? He's could have been the greatest comedy actor ever! We've been robbed of nearly 20 years of non stop awesome comedies! The few he's done are still great.

Just sad when a new Jim Carrey film is announced and it's another drama...

 

[Dash27]

what was all that one in a million talk?

Winner!

 

[mj1108]

However, the Warner Bros. division does not want to go ahead with the movie unless Carrey will reprise his lead role.

Good.

Now, throw some buckets of money at him, WB.

 

[Mr. B Natural]

Jim has gotten old. Give it a rest, Hollywood and fans. Once the movie can legally drive, it's time to give the idea of a sequel a rest. Do another movie with Jim and Jeff? Fine. Do something appropriate for the position the actors are in now rather than try to shoehorn them back into some pathetic time machine.
Could Dumb and Dumber have had a good sequel? Sure, why not, I guess. Two dumb characters do dumb things for 90 minutes, again for big profits... but that opportunity died 10 years ago, at the least.

It would be nice if the nostalgia ride would slow down for 5 minutes, so new comediennes could get a chance to hop on for once. That way, we can stop relying on the old bench and non-comediennes like Mark Walberg to play lead roles in comedies. Yeah know, invest into the future and 'will-bes' so you don't have to rely so much on the past and 'once was.'

So you're telling me there's a chance?

 

[SillyEskimo]

That movie title is great. It reminds me of "Spaceballs 3: The search for Spaceballs 2".

 

[Liquidsnake]

Wait there was a spaceballs 2 and 3???????????????????????

 

[Extra Sauce]

So you're telling me there's a chance?

I really hope it was just posturing on the part of Carrey.

 

[Rentahamster]

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!

will not take nostalgia digs from a guy with a reboot avatar

Not sure why this made me laugh so much. But it did.

 

[Femmeworth]

It'll make about as much sense as Jim Carrey's website

That was awful, takes way too long for things to load.

 

[FStop7]

God damn it. This is the second time.

"They're making Dumb and Dumber 2! It's called Dumb and Dumberer!"

Me: "WHAT? OMG :3"

"Oh but Jim and Jeff aren't in it it's some stupid prequel starring a couple of dipshits"

Me: *shattered*

And now this.

One of those dipshits works on NCIS:LA now

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Glad he will continue his pursuit as a serious actor in such projects as the Number 23.
