Here's the interview direct from Digital Spy,
What’s the current status of the Dumb and Dumber sequel?
“It’s definitely something we’ve been hoping for a long time. We always
wanted to get the two original guys Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back
together and see what they’re up to. Now it’s almost 20 years after the
original and the other guys are in a point in their career where they
had so much fun the first time that they’re willing to do it. We will
make this movie.”
Are you still hoping to shoot next year?
“We were hoping to shoot it very soon – this fall – but that didn’t come
to pass because of scheduling conflicts. Jeff has a successful TV
show over here now so we have to work around that. We are planning on
shooting it this coming spring and hopefully it will be out by next
fall. That’s the plan and that will be our next movie, we’ve already
written the script. We’re very anxious to get back in business with
those two guys.”
Are you able to give us any hints about the storyline? Have Lloyd and Harry had a lucky break yet after missing that bikini bus?
“I can tell you that there is no growth out of either one of them and
it’s 20 years later. What is funny about the original is that they’re
grown men who are complete losers and when the studio came to us about a
sequel, we were like, ‘Loads of kids
are losers and they’re dumb.’ We didn’t see any value in the sequel so
we backed out of it, but now these guys are in regular life and they’re
still basically children at heart. The story revolves around the fact that one of them may have sired a child. They want to go and find the child because he’s having a kidney problem and he wants to ask him for one of his kidneys.”
After reading the interview above, it sounds like very good news for the sequel. It may just happen after all.
