Dumb and Dumber To Trailer – Jim Carrey & Jeff Daniels haven’t gotten any smarter

June 11, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Dumb-and-Dumber-To-posterAfter decades of waiting and promises, Dumb And Dumber To, starring Jim Carrey & Jeff Daniels is coming soon, and to prove it we’ve got the trailer and poster!

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels reprise their signature roles as Lloyd and Harry in the sequel to the smash hit that took the physical comedy and kicked it in the nuts: Dumb and Dumber To. The original film’s directors, Peter and Bobby Farrelly, take Lloyd and Harry on a road trip to find a child Harry never knew he had and the responsibility neither should ever, ever be given.

‘The Farrelly brothers produce Dumb and Dumber To alongside Riza Aziz and Joey McFarland of Red Granite Pictures. They are joined by fellow producers Charles Wessler and Bradley Thomas. Universal Pictures will distribute the film in the United States, Canada and select international territories.’

The word from early test screenings is good, so hopefully there will be a lot of laughs when it arrives in cinemas in November. [Read more…]

January 21, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

dumb-and-dumber-to-pic1
Rather like Anchorman 2, Dumb and Dumber To is a movie that’s been talked about for years but which most people doubted they’d ever see. However after a long wait it’s definitely coming, as previous set photos have attested.

Now though the film’s Twitter account has released the first official photo from the movie, while you can see above. They also included the message, ‘Lloyd and Harry are back for an all new ride! #DumbTo is out in theaters November 14th!’

The sequel picks up 20 years after the original and has dimwitted duo Harry and Lloyd searching for their long lost children in hopes of finding a matching kidney. The Farrelly brothers once more direct.

Take A Look At Jim Carrey & Jeff Daniels On The Dumb and Dumber To Set

September 24, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

dumb-and-dumber-to-pic3
Pretty much since the day Dumb & Dumber hit it big in 1994 there’s been talk about a sequel, but while Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels and the Farrelly Brothers talked about it over the years, it always seemed like something that would only ever happen in theory.

Even in the last couple of years as talk became more serious, many thought it wouldn’t happen, especially when New Line backed out. However now it’s becoming a reality and to prove it Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels and the official Twitter account, DumbTo, have tweeted the first pictures from the set, showing us Harry & Lloyd are really coming back.

The sequel picks up 20 years after the original and has the dimwitted duo searching for their long lost children in hopes of finding a matching kidney. It’ll be out next year.

Kathleen Turner Up To Join Jim Carrey & Jeff Daniels In Dumb & Dumber To

August 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

kathleen-turnerDumb & Dumber To is one of those ‘I’ll believe it when I see it’ movies, as it’s been talked about for so long it’s difficult to believe it’s actually going to happen. However it’s survived being dropped by New Line (it’ll now be funded independently, with Universal distributing), and a lawsuit from one of the producers of the original movie, and now it’s started casting people to join Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey.

Variety reports that Kathleen Turner is in talks to join the movie, but unfortunately there are details of who Turner will be playing. But then, little is known about the movie, other than that Carrey and Daniels are returning to play Harry and Lloyd in the follow-up to the 1994 comedy.

The Farrelly brothers are also back to direct, with plans to start shooting fairly so it can be released next year, exactly 20 years after the first film.

Dumb & Dumber To With Jim Carrey & Jeff Daniels Gets Revived By Universal

June 19, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

dumb-and-dumber-pic1After years in development, earlier this year it finally seemed Dumb and Dumber To was finally going to go ahead, with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels both agreeing to star. Then last week disaster struck when New Line Cinema dropped the comedy sequel.

However that’s turned out to just be a bump at the end of a very long road, as now Universal Pictures and Red Granite Pictures have come onboard to back the film.

Directors Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly revealed the news themselves, tweeting, ‘IT”S OFFICIAL: Dumb and Dumber To is going into production with @RedGranitePics and @UniversalPics!!! #DumbTo’

Carrey and Daniels will be back as Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, with the stars, filmmakers, and studios working out scheduling to get production started as quickly as possible. There is a bit of extra urgency as Jeff Daniels wants to shoot before he has to go back to work on The Newsroom, while Jim Carrey wants to get it in the can ahead of filming the bank heist comedy Loomis Fargo with Owen Wilson.

Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly are directing from a script by Sean Anders and John Morris, which the directors rewrote themselves. The story revolves around Lloyd and Harry trying to find one of their illegitimate children, so they can donate one of their kidneys to save the child’s life. It’ll shoot on a $35 million budget.

Star-Studded Pics From Ensemble Comedy Movie 43 Hit

October 2, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Ensemble films have told dramatic stories, such as The Player and Short Cuts, or been rom-commy like Valentine’s Day, but now comes Movie 43, which tell a series of interlinked tale, but goes for all-out comedy. Indeed, the long-in-development film, which has been guided to the screen by Peter Farrelly, doesn’t even have a single director, as it features numerous helmers telling their own bits of the story – so it’s somewhere between an ensemble movie and an anthology.

It also has an amazing cast, which these first seven images, which come via EW, help demonstrate. In the movie will be (deep breath), Elizabeth Banks, Kristen Bell, Halle Berry, Leslie Bibb, Kate Bosworth, Gerard Butler, Bobby Cannavale, Kieran Culkin, Josh Duhamel, Anna Faris, Richard Gere, John Hodgman, Terrence Howard, Hugh Jackman, Johnny Knoxville, Justin Long, Stephen Merchant, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Chloë Grace Moretz, Chris Pratt, Liev Schreiber, Seann William Scott, Emma Stone, Jason Sudeikis, Uma Thurman, Naomi Watts, and Kate Winslet. It’s described as ‘not for the weak-stomached, faint of heart, or easily offended. In Movie 43, comedy is served steaming hot by director Peter Farrelly of The Farrelly Brothers (Something About Mary, Dumb & Dumber) in one of the most original comedies ever made’

Take a look at the pics below, along with some comments from Peter Farrelly. The movie is currently set for UK release on February 1st, 2013.

”This guy, Anna Faris’ real-life husband Chris Pratt, meets the perfect woman, the modern day Donna Reed, played by Anna. She’s sweet, she’s kind, and she just has this thing: she wants him to poop on her,” says Farrelly. ”That frosting is frosting, and it’s also her thing. Eh eh?”

”Halle Berry and Stephen Merchant play the ultimate game of Truth or Dare. They meet through an online dating service [and later] go to a restaurant,” says Farrelly. ”After some small talk, Halle Berry is sick of it, and says, ‘Let’s play Truth or Dare.’ They start one-upping each other in a very very funny way. The turkey baster is verrrrrrry interesting.”

”It’s the first all-black basketball team to host a championship, in the ’50s,” says Farrelly. ”They’re playing an all-white team, and they’re terrified. Terrence Howard has to convince these 6’8” black guys that they’re better than these 5’9” white guys.”

”Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville are best friends who had a falling out because Johnny was with [Seann’s] girl one night,” says Farrelly. ”To make it up, Johnny delivers Seann a pissed-off, angry, violent leprechaun, played by Gerard Butler. Johnny is trying to tickle him with a feather to get him to sneeze fairy dust to prove to Seann it’s a leprechaun.”

”Naomi Watts and [real-life partner] Liev Schreiber are homeschooling their son, played by Jeremy Allen White, who’s in Shameless, and they think schooling is about the entire experience, including being hazed, bullied, demeaned,” says Farrelly. ”Besides making him study, they’re torturing him. This is one of my favorites, and so funny.”

”Emma Stone and Kieran Culkin are a couple that’s broken up, and meet again in a supermarket,” says Farrelly. ”They cut through all the bulls— in a relationship, but unbeknownst to her, they’re on a loudspeaker. They start getting very intimate. It’s really funny.”

”In this, Kate Winslet’s on a date with Hugh Jackman, and she finds out he has quite a funny and strange birth defect — during dinner,” says Peter Farrelly, one of the sprawling ensemble comedy’s 12 co-directors. ”It’s a blind date. It’s her trying to navigate the waters.”

Jim Carrey Out Of Dumb and Dumber 2

June 21, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Last October, is was revealed that Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly were planning Dumb and Dumber 2 (apparently going under the working title Dumb and Dumber To), which at the time had both Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels set to return as Lloyd and Harry.

However Jim Carrey has left the project, due to New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. showing a, “lack of enthusiasm” for the follow-up, according to ET Online. Here’s what Carrey had to say, through his publicist. “I would have thought Dumb and Dumber To was a no-brainer, after all it’s implied in the title.”

The Farrelly brothers have had casting roadblocks in the past involving the funnyman. He was set to star alongside Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro in The Three Stooges before the project fell apart. Of course, it will be a lot harder to re-cast a role like Lloyd Christmas for a sequel, especially for a comedy as popular as Dumb and Dumber. It’s also not clear what a ‘lack of enthusiasm’ means, although suggests perhaps the studio didn’t want to pay what Carrey was asking.

Sex Drive writers Sean Anders and John Morris wrote the screenplay for the Farrelly’s to direct from. It’s not clear yet if this casting departure will mean the end of the sequel or not.

New Three Stooges Trailer – Pratfall madness

March 22, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It took a while for the Farrelly Brothers to get their Three Stooges movie off the ground, and this trailer suggests why, as it’s a risky mix of biopic and zany comedy, and brings the Stooges right up into the modern day. You’ll have to take a look below to see if you feel stooge type comedy works when it’s about iPhones, but Sean Hayes, Will Sasso and Chris Diamantopoulis sure look like they’re having fun. It really makes you wonder what it would have been like when Larry, Curly & Moe were set to be played by Jim Carrey, Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro. It hits cinemas May 4th.

First Look At The Three Stooges

October 28, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment


The first pics from both the Farrelly brothers’ The Three Stooges and Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie had popped up online. You can see the Stooges one above, via USA Today, which is the first image we’ve had of Chris Diamantopoulos as Moe, Sean Hayes as Larry, and Will Sasso as Curly that we’ve had where they aren’t in silhouette. The guys certainly look the part, and we’ll be able to see if they can pull off the Stooge magic next April.

Below you can see the first shots and a behind-the-scene image from Frankenweenie, Tim Burton’s feature length stop-motion version of his 1984 short. It’s been in the works for year, and as stop-motion takes so long still won’t be in cinemas until October 2012, but you can see the first official pics here (via EW).
