Bad Idea: Ace Ventura 3

  

 

 It's been announced that a certain film company is looking to write a new Ace Ventura movie. Why? You know that Jim Carrey will want no part in it. Didn't anyone see how awful Son of The Mask, Dumber and Dumberer did? Even if, by some miracle, Carrey returned, does anyone really want to see it. The last time I watched Pet Detective, I realized just how aged the comedy was. It was almost the equivalent of watching a Paulie Shore movie. Good luck Hollywood.

from Hollywood Reporter:

Morgan Creek has begun the detective work on a kooky cold case. The production company has hired Jeff Sank and brothers Jason and Justin Heimberg to write a third installment of the hit franchise "Ace Ventura." The two previous "Ventura" comedies grossed more than $180 million domestically and helped establish Jim Carrey as one of the highest-paid comedy actors in Hollywood. The latest pet project is expected to center on the eccentric detective's son, who steps into his father's shoes to take over the family business.

I agree. I think Jim Carrey learned his lesson when he did Ace 2. He hasn't done a sequal to any of his other films. And he doesn't need to. It's not like he has had trouble getting work. He doesn't need to do this. And if they make an Ace 3 without Carrey, then of course that is gonna flop big time.
