Jim Carrey approached the Daniels directing team hoping to make a horror film on the set of DARK AND DARKER A

Jim Carrey he is a comedy genius with a talent among those of other greats like robin williams, Chris Farleyand an actor who played, Andy Kaufmann. Actors like these are funny and have great imaginations which is evident in their careers. But sometimes their ideas have to fall by the wayside, as not everything in Hollywood works the way people want.

Back when Carrey was making his sequel Dumb and Dumber a, came up with the idea of ​​making a behind-the-scenes film. Carrey reached out to the directors Daniele Kwan And Daniel Sheinertaka The Daniels, which he continued to make Everything everywhere all at onceand they recalled the tone at a recent writers’ roundtable hosted by The Hollywood Reporter. Kwan revealed that he and Scheinert were approached by Jim Carrey to make a horror film that would be filmed on the set of 2014 Dumb and Dumber a.

kwan said:

“Very early in our careers, Jim Carrey reached out. He had just seen Paranormal Activity and was like, ‘Guys, this is found footage and it’s horror – have you seen it?’ And we were like, ‘Uh-huh, we’ve heard about this. Where is this going?’ And he said, ‘I haven’t seen anyone do that but with comedy. And I have this great idea.'”

Carrey explained that part of Dumb and dumber it had been filmed at the Stanley Hotel in Colorado, where Stephen King got the idea The brilliant, and that there was a ghostly experience at the time of production. Kwan continued:

“Basically, the set of Dumb and dumber it was notoriously a haunted set. It’s like, ‘The whole time we were shooting, things were breaking, people were getting hurt, doors were swinging, and it felt like it was haunted. We’re about to shoot Dumb and Dumber a, and I want you guys to do a stock horror comedy on set. While we’re shooting, you guys will be making a behind-the-scenes video feature that will slowly become a horror film.’ We’re like, ‘OK, this is it. It’s incredible.’ We wrote a whole outline and were really excited about it.”

Kwan continued:

“Then we sat down with the producer, pitched the idea, and they were like, ‘We’re not actually going to do that. I’m sorry, Jim got really excited, but there’s no way the studio is going to make a movie while they are spinning Dumb and Dumber a.'”

Kwan explained that everyone was pretty disappointed, and for good reason! It looks like it would have been a great movie, and I don’t know why it hasn’t been revisited. I hope one day Carrey and the Daniels get to make this movie, and I know if they do, I’ll watch it.
