Warner Bros. Drops the Farrelly's DUMB AND DUMBER Sequel

Dumb and Dumber To is up for grabs. The planned sequel to one of the biggest comedies of the 1990s has been in the works for years at New Line Cinema. But now sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that New Line parent Warner Bros. is declining to move forward and will allow the project be shopped to other studios.

Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are attached to reprise their starring roles, and Bobby and Peter Farrelly are back in the directors

Hobbit looks great
I'm not that disappointment that the D&D film might not be made. Farrelly brothers films (including movie 43) have been pretty crappy over the past 6 years.

but dumb shit like 21 and over gets made. and these stupid ass star trek movies.

craptacular

movie execs head will start to fall off! (yeah, they are getting pretty old)

Yes, why would these execs keeping throwing money at that Abrams guy? He's only made them over $760 million dollars against $330 million budget, while receiving favorable reviews from critics and fans (for Star Trek alone).

They should just throw their money at the Farrelly brothers, who's last 3 films were panned critically and by the audience and made $135 million domestically. Not too mention Peter Farrelly's last project being Movie 43.

Just because it has Dumb and Dumber in the name and Jim Carey/Jeff Daniels doesn't mean the sequel will be good. And just because you weren't a fan of alt universe Star Trek, doesn't mean the majority who went to see it thought the same.

DUMB AND DUMBER 2 Moves Forward with Universal, Red Granite

When last reported on the status of the Dumb & Dumber sequel, it had been dropped by Warner Bros. with Bobby and Peter Farrelly eyeing Red Granite to finance and a number of studios vying for domestic distribution. Today, the Farrelly brothers confirmed that Red Granite will indeed be backing the film as well as handling international distribution, and that Universal Pictures has stepped in as a domestic distributor. Here’s what Peter Farrelly had to Tweet earlier today:

New Details for DUMB AND DUMBER TO; Eyed for Summer 2014

After a year or so of stops and starts regarding a sequel to Dumb and Dumber, it was announced last night that Dumb and Dumber To has secured financing and distribution at last, with production looking to get underway as early as this fall. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels both reprise their roles from the 1994 film, and writers/directors Peter and Bobby Farrelly are back as well. While the Farrelly brothers previously revealed that the film would find either Harry or Lloyd being a father, Peter remained a bit more vague when describing the story on the podcast:

“We start in Rhode Island and we pick up today and explain what they’ve been doing the last 18 years. And there is something that happens and we get off to the races quickly.” … ”When you see Dumb and Dumber To, Dumb and Dumber 1 is better because you learn things in Dumb and Dumber To that you knew in Dumb and Dumber 1 but hadn’t put together. For instance, not giving away too much, Harry always gets revenge. ” … “And when you see the second one, it has a thing that you won’t see coming , and at the end of it, you’ll be like ‘oh my god, I just fell for the exact same thing.’”

Farrelly revealed that the film will likely hit theaters next summer. Farrelly also confirmed that Harland Williams is poised to reprise his role as the pee-drinking cop from the first film, and he may or may not have been joking when he added that the blind kid will be back as a grown man as well. Filming is planned to take place in Atlanta, where the production will be taking advantage of Georgia’s tax credits.

DUMB AND DUMBER TO to Begin Filming in September

After a string of flops, the Farrelly Brothers‘ will return to one of their most popular films by finally going ahead with Dumb and Dumber To. The sequel has had its ups and downs, especially with Jim Carrey’s frustration with Warner Bros. letting the project linger in development hell. Universal eventually picked up the rights, Carrey and co-star Jeff Daniels will return, and on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Daniels said they’re scheduled to start filming in September.

As it was previously reported, the movie is on track for a summer 2014 release, which would mark the 20th anniversary of the original’s release. “I’ve seen the script. It’s hysterical,” Daniels told Fallon. “We’re middle-aged, we’re not pretending we aren’t. We’re middle-aged and we’re still that stupid.”

Kathleen Turner Joins the Farrelly's DUMB AND DUMBER Sequel

Kathleen Turner (Romancing the Stone, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?) is set to get fairly dumb for the Farrelly brothers. According to Variety, the stage and screen star has boarded Universal's upcoming Dumb and Dumber To, which will once again star Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. For now, the plot is being kept under wraps, as is Turner's role. Previous reports speculated that the film would find Carrey and Daniels on a cross-country road trip.

Peter and Bobby Farrelly will return to helm the sequel as well as rewrite the original script written by Sean Anders and John Morris. Warner Bros was originally behind the project, but dropped the film earlier this summer. The original buddy comedy was a box office hit, grossing $127,175,374 in the United States, and $247,275,374 worldwide, and topping the holiday season film gross.

Kathleen Turner is well known for her many starring film roles, including Body Heat, The Man With Two Brains, Crimes of Passion, The War of the Roses, Peggy Sue Got Married, among many others. Turner also has won critical acclaim for her stage performances on and off Broadway.

Billy in 4C Returns for The Farrelly's DUMB AND DUMBER TO

Dumb and Dumber To is turning into a true reunion as writers-directors Bobby and Peter Farrelly today revealed that Brady Bluhm, the actor who portrayed Billy in 4C in the 1995 original, will reprise his role for the much-anticipated sequel. "It's official!" the brothers posted to Twitter. "Billy in 4C (I just thought he was really quiet) is returning in #DumbTo! Played again by the highly underrated Brady Bluhm."

Billy, fans will remember, was the blind neighbor boy to whom Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey's Harry and Lloyd sold their headless bird, Petey. Following the release of the original film, actor Bluhm went on to voice Christopher Robin in a series of direct-to-home-video Winnie the Pooh films. He recently starred in a film that he also co-created and edited, The Last Man(s) on Earth.

Although it has been nearly 20 years since Bobby and Peter Farrelly's Dumb and Dumber, cameras are finally ready to roll on the much-anticipated sequel.

Laurie Holden Lands Female Lead in DUMB AND DUMBER TO

Universal and Red Granite's Dumb and Dumber sequel is rounding out its cast by adding Laurie Holden, Steve Tom and Rachel Melvin. Directed by Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly, Dumb and Dumber To catches up with the dim-witted best friends Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) and Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels) 20 years later as they hit the road to find Harry's illegitimate daughter for a kidney transplant.

The new additions to the cast will play the Pichlow family. Walking Dead star Holden is not the female lead, but will play the key role of Adele Pichlow, the wife of a wealthy doctor who has hatched a nefarious plan involving the lives of her husband, Dr. Pichlow (Tom) and her step-daughter Penny (Melvin). Holden has played Andrea, a human survivor after the zombie infestation, on AMC’s The Walking Dead since the show’s first season.

Production is underway on the sequel to Peter and Bobby Farrelly’s 1994 comedy classic Dumb and Dumber, and the first images of Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back in character have been revealed by none other than Carrey himself. It’s pretty amazing that, nearly 20 years later, those costumes and haircuts bring Harry and Lloyd right back like they never left. The Farrelly brothers return to direct, the story picks up in Rhode Island 18 years after the events of the first film, and The Walking Dead’s Laurie Holden recently landed the female lead. Dumb and Dumber To is poised to arrive in theaters sometime in 2014.
