Peter and Bobby Farrelly have begun the move to developing a sequel to Dumb and Dumber (1994). They are hoping to bring back both Jim Carrey (Lloyd Christmas) and Jeff Daniels (Harry Dunne). The Farrelly brothers will most likely direct the sequel. As for who will be writing the script, Sex Drive (2008) co-writers Sean Anders, he also directed the movie, and John Morris have been hired to do so. The original producers from the movie, Charles B. Wessler, Brad Krevoy and Steve Stabler, are signed on for the sequel.The original was filmed with a $16 million budget and it was a huge hit grossing over $250 million worldwide.
It's exciting to read that the Farrelly brothers have moved onto the sequel since they've finished with their latest project, The Three Stooges (2012), but I'm not getting my hopes up too much until both Carrey and Daniels sign on for the movie. Only then will I be really excited. There is hope with Carrey joining the project because while he was promoting Mr. Popper's Penguins, he mentioned this little tidbit about the possibility of a sequel, "We're talking about maybe returning to some old characters that everyone has been asking about...There's Bruce Almighty and we're talking about maybe another Dumb and Dumber." So, maybe there is hope that this sequel will work.
