Jim Carrey hasn't had a big hit for a few years, and while there's big hopes for Mr. Popper's Penguins, it appears the actor is looking back to past glories in hopes of getting himself a bit more success. While promoting his penguin movie, Carrey told ComingSoon, "We’re talking about maybe returning to some old characters that everyone has been asking about …There’s Bruce Almighty and we’re talking about maybe another Dumb and Dumber."
It would seem a bit late for follow-up to either movie, and anyway, we've already had the masterpiece that was Dumb And Dumberer, although that didn't star Carrey or Jeff Daniels. Bruce Almighty 2 could certainly work, although whether that comedy is beloved enough that people would want to see another one almost a decade on is another matter.
However another Dumb And Dumber is a distinct possibility, because as /Film smartly remembered, in an interview with MovieHole earlier this year, director Bobby Farrelly said, "If we could get those two guys back together, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels that might be a worthwhile sequel – and that ball is in motion. We’re starting to think about what those two dimwits would be doing twenty-years later in life, and hopefully we’ll be able to come up with something worthy of a sequel."
We'll have to wait and see whether either movie happens, but if Mr Popper's Penguins flops, both become much stronger possibilties.
