Dumb And Dumber Sequel Dropped By Warner Brothers
Warner Brothers has officially dropped any plans to pursue the sequel to the Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels movie Dumb And Dumber. But fans shouldn’t lose hope, there is a chance that another outlet will pick up the sequel for distribution. The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop:
Sources say the studio sees only limited upside in a follow-up and is unwilling to give it the greenlight, despite a budget in the low $30 million range. (The decision comes in the wake of the poor March performance of The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, the Steve Carell-Steve Buscemi comedy that incidentally had Carrey as a featured co-star and who drew rave reviews. That movie also cost in the $30 million range but grossed only $22 million domestically.)
The Farrellys now will seek a new financier and distributor for the project. If a suitor comes forward, New Line still would get a licensing fee and a share of backend.
