Columbus or Not

JoBloJoBlo

The Jim Carrey-centric RIPLEY’S BELIEVE IT OR NOT, in which the elastic-faced thespian plays newspaper columnist/explorer Robert Ripley is close to finding a director.

Chris Columbus, who may not be respected in that film snob kind of way, but is still responsible for classic flicks like MRS. DOUBTFIRE and HOME ALONE, is set to direct the long gestating project.

Originally this thing was being tapped as a Tim Burton Opus but Mr. Columbus is set to do this right, and is expected to set this up as a major franchise for Paramount, with the first installment set for 2011. I really don’t care who directs this. I just want my bff Ace “Jim Carrey” Ventura to like, not lose his house. Then finally, finally, finally I can sleep.
