The ‘Dumb and Dumber’ sequel is in trouble now that the Warner Bros. franchise has dropped the film. The Farrelly brothers are directing the film, and are currently in search of another studio to take on their $30 million budget film.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Universal may snatch up the film.
Jim Carrey is still signed up to play his legendary character in the movie.
‘Dumb and Dumber’ fans will be ecstatic to know that their favorite comedy will be getting a sequel pretty soon. ‘Dumb and Dumber 2′ will begin filming in early 2014.
Jim Carrey has confirmed that a ‘Dumb and Dumber’ sequel is in the pipeline for next year. He recently revealed to Access Hollywood, “Jeff and I are really excited about it and hopefully next year we’ll be able to do that.”
Harry and Lloyd will return for the sequel which will take place twenty years after the original events. Rumor has it that we may even see a few offspring in the next movie!

Damn the Man!
We all hate the long lines, bureaucratic nonsense, and lack of personality the DMV offers up like they’re doing us a favor, however, Ashton Kutcher and his television production company, Katalyst Media, is going a step further by suing the California Department of Motor Vehicles for $1.44 million for backing out of a deal to participate in a reality show centered on the daily life at the DMV. He’s claiming the state agency breached a signed contract that would have allowed his company access to the DMV to make a half-hour reality show.
The lawsuit claims “just six weeks after signing its Agreement, DMV abruptly and without justification, changed course. In a five-sentence letter to Katalyst producer Jason Goldberg, [Deputy Director] Mirando simply declared the DMV no longer considered the Series to be in it’s ‘best interests’ and would therefore ‘not be moving forward on such a project.’”
Typical DMV arrogance versus Hollywood contract muscle. We’ll see who wins.

Doh!
That’s right comedy lovers, Jim Carrey is saying no to a Dumb and Dumber sequel. Sources told ETOnline that the funnyman wasn’t feeling the love from studio executives at New Line and Warner Bros. The actor feels the studios “showed a lack of enthusiasm” for the reunion to the 1994 hit, which supposedly was due to be titled Dumb and Dumber To.
It’s disappointing for everyone since the Farrelly brothers apparently worked for years to bring the original cast, including Jeff Daniels, back together. But with his exit, it’s no doubt the sequel’s future becomes uncertain.
