We are only one day removed from April Fool’s Day and some of the movie news seems a little too on the nose.
Case in point, Peter and Bobby Farrelly made the announcement that the sequel to DUMB AND DUMBER will begin production this fall with both Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels reprising their original roles.
According to Peter Farrelly, We did not do DUMB AND DUMBERER, that was a studio thing. So we’ve always wanted to do a sequel and finally Jim called up. Jeff always wanted to do it. We always wanted to do it. Jim was busy, but he called and said, ‘We’ve got to do this thing again.’ He had just watched ‘Dumb and Dumber’ and he said, ‘This is the perfect sequel. Let’s do it.’
DUMB AND DUMBER is still one of the funniest movies in the last 20 years. I can pop in the DVD or catch it on cable at any point and it will suck thirty minutes of my life. I love it. I do not think the Farrelly’s have truly replicated it, mainly because of the chemistry between Carrey and Daniels.
