Talk of a sequel has been circling for years, and now it’s finally happening. The original was a lot of fun, the 2003 prequel (which featured a different cast) largely went unseen, and it’s going to be interesting to see how audiences receive the long-awaited sequel, twenty years on.
Jeff Daniels and Carrey are of course back once more as Harry and Lloyd, with Laurie Holden (The Walking Dead) recently taking the female antagonist lead, alongside Kathleen Turner, Rachel Melvin, Cam Neely, Brady Bluhm, and Steve Tom.
The Farrelly brothers, Peter and Bobby, are back at the helm once more, with the script co-written by Sean Anders, John Morris, Mike Cerrone, and the original’s co-writer, Bennett Yellin.
Dumb and Dumber To is without a firm release date, but it’s expected to land in cinemas sometime next year, to mark the 20th anniversary of the original film’s release back in 1994.
How Roland Rolls comes out TODAY but it may be a little too sophisticated for Lloyd and Harry! Yep… THEY’RE BAAAAA… http://t.co/bhrYxNPKbv
