Jim Carrey Loves Phillip Morris

June 4, 2007

Jim Carrey will star in I Love You Phillip Morris, a dark comedy that was written and will mark the directing debut of Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the writing team behind Bad Santa. Andrew Lazar and Far Shariat will produce, says Variety.

Carrey will play a conman whose love for a cellmate leads him to make several prison escapes.

A financing deal for the less-than-$20 million film is about to close with Luc Besson's EuropaCorp.

Based on a book by Houston Chronicle crime reporter Steve McVicker, the fact-based film casts Carrey as Steven Russell, a married father whose exploits landed him in the Texas criminal justice system.

He fell madly in love with his cellmate, who eventually was set free, which led Russell to escape from Texas prisons four times.

Doesn't sound very interesting. It sounds like Mr Carrey should search for better scripts. I won't go see this....

Good for Jim Carrey! He handles diversity with the best of them! Should be interesting at worse and believable at best.

So excited for this movie. Can't believe how nuts the Christians and rednecks are gonna go. Is that hate-speech Jim Bayes? Don't hate, appreciate! My guess is there will be TWO dynamic performances at the least in this film. I only hope, as a first time director, ol boy can pull it off.

I just saw a trailer about this movie and it looks like it will be side splitting funny. As usual Jim Carey out does him self.

Like Jim Carrey needs to worry about what jordan h. thinks. Like any of us care.

Carrey's an ACTOR. Good scripts attract actors and it's about time Carrey stretched out of his usual goofball roles. McGregor (like Ledger), is the better actor as he can handle this kind of role without worrying what dumb bigots think.
