Well the great Hollywood minds are at it again.  Let's start off from the beginning:

Long ago in the year of 1994 a man got his breakthrough role in a movie intended for Robin Williams; that movie: Ace Ventura; that star: Jim Carrey.  Since that time Jim went on to do some wildly successful comedies including The Mask, Liar Liar, Bruce Almighty, and Dumb and Dumber(for which he first received 20 mil).  Hollywood studios loved this guy so they instantly got him into doing an Ace Ventura sequel...this movie was not so good and as such Jim Carrey has never done a sequel(a man that truly loves his art).  However the studios wanted to continue on with his success and instead made cheap as prequel flicks or spin offs or just random shit all together(Son of the Mask).  None of these movies have done well.

To start Dumb and Dumberer cost the studios 19 million to make and earned a total gross of 26 million...just 7 million but okay it is still a profit.
Then came Son of the Mask...what a piece of garbage.  This movie cost 74 million and made a total gross of just over 17 million....that's gotta hurt.
So the studios got a little more ambitious: they got a couple of bankable stars, a huge budget, and the most animals ever used in a screenplay of course I am talking of Evan Almighty and with a budget of 175 million the movie has earned just over 60.5 million.  OWIE!

So that brings us up to date...or does it?! Morgan Creek has announced today that they will be casting John  Flitter(who the fuck?) in the movie Ace Ventura 3: Son of Ace Ventura.  OH DEAR GOD!!! my first thought was maybe this is just a rumor, but they demolished that with promotional posters.




I can make it bigger but I am hoping it will go away
