The casting news in the past few months for Burt Wonderstone has been excellent. The film will see the return of Steve Carell and Jim Carrey after the great Bruce Almighty in 2003 and Horton Hears A Who! In 2008. Alongside them, we can look forward to seeing Olivia Wilde, Steve Buscemi, James Gandolfini, Brad [...]
While it didn’t exactly break new territory or impress many critics, Bruce Almighty proved to be a commercial hit with its simple premise and charming allure, raking in an estimated $484M worldwide and spawning a less-than-desirable spin-off that’s better left unmentioned. It’s no surprise, then, to hear that Universal are looking to capitalise on its success [...]
Before there was Jack Skellington preceding Christmas with nightmares, Billy Bob Thornton giving Santa Claus a bad name, or rare exports maiming innocent reindeer, it was the Grinch who first turned the tables on the festive season, daring to be indifferent (after Scrooge, of course). The first of Dr. Seuss’ acclaimed children’s stories to be adapted to feature [...]
When he was not quietly terrifying Emma Stone over the internet this year saw Mr. Jim Carrey make a film about a man and a band of errant penguins, and as the film is out on DVD and Blu-ray this week we thought we’d celebrate with a clip culled from the film, positing that it [...]

Just a couple of weeks ago, we got the brilliant news that Jim Carrey and Steve Carell would be working together again, co-leading the magician comedy, Burt Wonderstone. The two both starred in Bruce Almighty (I can’t believe that came out eight years ago!), albeit with Carell in a smaller role, and then teamed up [...]
Jim Carrey (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) has landed a lead role in Burt Wonderstone. Carrey will star opposite Steve Carell (Crazy, Stupid, Love) in the John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein-scripted comedy-drama. Burt Wonderstone centers on a famous but jaded Vegas magician (Carell) who fights for relevance when a new, “hip” street magician (Carrey) appears on [...]
A remake of the famed 1947 comedy, The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty, has proved a tough nut to crack in Hollywood for some time. Director Ron Howard toying with the idea for years, and even Jim Carrey’s name was bandied around back then. Now it seems the project is back on track with another [...]
The Farrelly Brothers are currently at work on their long-in-development biopic of that much-loved comedy trio from early in the last century, The Three Stooges, and Movie Web have posted some images from the set.

**Read all the posts in our ‘Love Theatrically’ series here** #1 – “ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND” (2004) Directed by Michel Gondry Whether we’re simply trying to remember where we put last night’s lottery ticket or desperately trying to forget an unsuccessful past romance our memories can, and always will, be the most fragile [...]
While I’m surprised it took this long for set pics to arrive, photos from Mr. Popper’s Penguins, starring Jim Carrey and Carla Gugino, have finally hit the net. The film has been shooting on and off in New York City for about the past two months now and it truly amazes me that these are [...]
