Ace Ventura 3 In Development
But no Jim Carrey this time
Source: The Hollywood Reporter

After the disappointing double whammy of both his big new planned films (Ripley’s Believe It Or Not and Used Guys) being thrown back into the development blender by their studios, we’ve got some good news for Jim Carrey at last - sort of.

Morgan Creek is cooking up a third outing for Ace Ventura. But it looks like the man who made Ventura in the first two films won’t be returning – the third Pet project will likely focus on Ace’s son, who will handle the mantle of animal tracker. Morgan Creek has hired writers Jeff Sank, Justin Heimberg and his brother Jason to write a script for a new outing.

There’s no director or cast attached yet – so we’ll all have to wait on tenterhooks to find out who’ll be donning the requisite garish Hawaiian shirt.

Why? Why not just invest money in some new? Why recycle the same old tired crap over and over again? It's remake after remake after sequel after adaptation and there really is nothing new going on in the film world... it smells far too stagnant in here... I'm going. And some dickhead of a studio has greenlit two more Pumpkinhead movies. For fuck's sake! If it's not capitalising on disaster and tragedy it's just re-heating dog turds. What a bunch of utter wank this industry has become. ... Read More

Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200
If that is in fact true, and not some joke//crazy rumour, I am deeply saddened!!!!! The Mask sequel was a disasterous (not that I would do them justice of seeing it) but this is a TRAVESTY! Ace Ventura 1 and 2 are classic comedy of the 90's and Jim Carrey is a comic genius, why would they ruin that just because they can't come up with anything better???? Anyone up to stage a protest???? ... Read More

After reading the title for this Thread, i was just about to type a giant /i] to show my joy. But reybe starring in it? No, just no. So few of these ventures ever work, and like said above, don't ruin a pretty impressive little franchise. No. 2 happens to be one of my favourite comedies. ... Read More
