After many years of speculation it looks like we are finally going to be given a sequel to one of my favorite films of all time, Dumb and Dumber. Peter and Bobby Farrelly, the directors of the original, have wanted to make this film for quite some time and Jeff Daniels has been on board for it too, but due to Jim Carrey’s busy schedule things never took off. Then things took a positive step forward when Sean Anders and John Morris (Hot Tub Time Machine) were hired to pen the script for the potential sequel.
Here is what Peter Farrelly had to say to Coming Soon about the status of Dumb and Dumber 2:
“We’re getting set to shoot ‘Dumb and Dumber 2’ in September. It’s the first sequel we’ve ever done and we’ve got Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back.”
To this day, Dumb and Dumber is still one of the most quotable movies in my book and was practically played on replay when I was a child. While I’m excited, I have to remain a bit skeptical as the Farrelly brothers haven’t been able to prove themselves since the release of their three best movies, Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin and There’s Something About Mary. Though I can say it will be nothing like Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd, a film in which they had absolutely nothing to do with.
What do you all think of the news? Are you excited for a sequel or would you rather them leave it alone?
