Dumb and Dumber To producers want Jim Carrey for new comedy Deep Cover

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Red Granite, the production company the helped get DUMB AND DUMBER TO released, is looking to team up with Jim Carrey again for a new comedy. Deadline is reporting Red Granite's Riza Aziz and Joey McFarland have picked up the pitch DEEP COVER from writer Johnny Rosenthal (who reportedly is also working on the script for BAD SANTA 2), and they want Carrey to star in the planned movie. If the actor does join the project, he'll also produce the film with Michael Aguilar through their Some Kind Of Garden banner

There aren't any details on the plot for the comedy, but with DEEP COVER as its title, I wouldn't be surprised if it involves Jim Carrey's character going undercover. It's also not clear if this will be Carrey's next film or not. Although he isn't currently committed to anything, last we knew he was still attached to Steve Oedekerk's RICKY STANICKY.

I haven't been impressed with most of Carrey's recent films, but I'm hopeful DEEP COVER won't just feature the actor wearing a bunch of silly disguises while undercover.

DUMB AND DUMBER TO will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on February 17, 2015.
