Jim Carrey Drops Out of Dumb and Dumber To

Last serious talks began about making a sequel to Dumb and Dumber, when Jim Carrey joined in on the idea.

The sequel was set to have a plot that was set in the now rather than taking place immediately after the first movie.

Director and cowriter Peter Farrelly had promised that all in between would have been explained.

Jeff Daniels, who had starred with Carrey in the original, had been wanting a sequel for a long time, but hadn't been able to push it forward on his own.

But now Carrey has apparently dropped out due to a "lack of enthusiasm" from the studio that was making it, New Line.

Without Carrey it is doubtful that the film will get anywhere.
