If it's crap ... We'll tell you

Back in April, it was reported that things were really starting to progress on the sequel to 1994's 'Dumb and Dumber.' The Farrelly Brothers were returning to direct, a script was in place, and both Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels had agreed to reprise their roles. In fact, it was announced that the film would begin shooting in September. Well, we now have to hit the brakes on this out-of-control, dog-shaped van as Jim Carrey has decided to exit the project. Apparently he is unhappy with what he perceives as a lack of support from Warner Brothers/New Line. The actor had this to say...
"I would have thought Dumb and Dumber To was a no-brainer, after all it's implied in the title,"
Oh we agree, Jim, there was a marked level of brainlessness to this project. I still don't understand who the Farrelly brothers, Carrey, and Daniels thought were clamoring for a 'Dumb and Dumber' sequel, but once they all jumped on board, how did the studio not get 100% behind it? If you've been to theaters at all over the last few years, you are well aware of the emphasis major studios place upon brands; upon names people recognize and will blindly buy tickets to revisit. Sure, there was no reason to make a 'Dumb and Dumber' sequel, but there was also no reason to make a 'Dark Shadows' or 'Battleship' movie either. I have a feeling this would have driven a decent amount of business so I'm kind of shocked to hear the studio wasn't supportive. In fact, I'm incredulous to the point that I wonder if something else were really going on behind the scenes. I will say that if they don't have Carrey, they should really pull the plug lest we get another 'Dumb and Dumberer' situation.

Comment by Shea Nelsen on June 21, 2012 at 1:43am This really is a bummer for me. I loved his character in Dumb and Dumber more than any character he has played in the last ten years, and especially the last five. Whether it was a good career decision, or not... Blah blah blah (why do I care about his personal decisions) As a fan and movie goer, I would have loved to have seen this movie. People seem to have a lot of snarky comments about how nobody would want to see this. Dumb and Dumber is one of the most popular comedies of all time. Everybody knows, Carrey and Daniels had nothing to do with the prequel. This movie would have done fantastic at the box office.

So this is... what, the third... fourth sequel/prequel to a Jim Carrey film without Jim Carrey?
