"Morgan Creek tracking down third "Ventura" Tuesday August 15 1:51 AM ET Morgan Creek has begun the detective work on a kooky cold case. The production company has hired Jeff Sank and brothers Jason and Justin Heimberg to write a third installment of the hit franchise "Ace Ventura." The two previous "Ventura" comedies -- 1994's "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" and the following year's "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls" -- grossed more than $180 million domestically and helped establish Jim Carrey as one of the highest-paid comedy actors in Hollywood. The latest pet project is expected to center on the eccentric detective's son, who steps into his father's shoes to take over the family business. It is not yet known who will fill the pet detective's Hawaiian shirts, pompadour hairdo and 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in the third installment. The Heimbergs and Sank recently finished work on "Unnatural History" for Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer before completing "Iguanas," an animated feature for John Williams and Vanguard Entertainment."

No Carrey, no suprise

(of course the article doesn't mention that)

I bet there are tons of directors/writers out there with great scripts, but they cant find a film production company to pick up their film. and yet, we get garbage like this being made

probably the same production company that put out dumb and dumberer

8/15/2006 11:41:18 AM

I am trying to figure out why Son of the Mask and Dumber and Dumberer didn't teach the studios anything. Carrey comedy - Carrey = suck

8/15/2006 11:50:13 AM

we could just turn this into a quotes thread for the hell of it

8/15/2006 11:55:46 AM

seriously though, theres a history of continued franchises sucking hardcore (hell look at the crow after #2, arguably including 2)

8/15/2006 12:02:47 PM

this will be about as successful as the 2nd dumb and dumber.

8/15/2006 12:12:16 PM

^or american pie "band camp"

8/15/2006 12:14:38 PM

band camp wasnt that bad

i liked the crow: city of angels, fucker

8/15/2006 12:33:58 PM

yeah, I was actually surprised and how not bad band camp was. for having a bunch of no-name kids in it, it wasn't half bad.

8/15/2006 12:41:05 PM

the kid from Dumb and Dumberer

8/15/2006 12:48:38 PM

hey i liked city of angels fine, but ive heard quite a bit of negativity towards it.

8/15/2006 1:01:27 PM

Carrey's not in it? No one will care. God still loves me after all.

8/15/2006 2:22:38 PM

band camp wasnt that bad one of the worst films ever made

8/15/2006 2:25:25 PM

you must not see very many movies

8/15/2006 3:17:28 PM

i see plenty

but that shit was painful to watch

8/15/2006 3:20:06 PM

at least it had a plot and some funny parts, unlike quite a few movies ive seen.

8/15/2006 3:23:32 PM

Yes Satan?? Oh, I'm sorry sir, you sounded like someone else...

8/15/2006 4:18:53 PM

Chicago!

Right on.

8/15/2006 4:45:29 PM

Dont forget "Evan Almighty" coming out next year. But Im personally waiting for "The Satellite Guy", "Liar Liar Liar", "The Truman Movie", and "Me, Myself, and Ivana".

8/16/2006 8:01:05 AM

Why are they making this? Because enough people that complain about it eventually go see it anyway and it isn't hard to turn a quick profit on a dud when it only costs a million to make in the first place.

8/16/2006 8:11:32 AM

It's Son of the Mask all over again.

8/16/2006 8:53:53 AM

^^^I don't know. I think Evan Almighty might have potential seeing as the main star is Steve Carrell.

8/16/2006 9:15:23 AM

this has virtually no choice but to be awful

8/16/2006 4:29:46 PM

8/16/2006 4:35:28 PM

wow, just wow. I really want to meet the people who think its a good idea to spend money to make this movie. People like that should be fired. And how do they get these jobs anyway?

8/16/2006 4:37:42 PM

^as many movies were just discussed as being awful - it's clear that people watch them.

sequels have a built in audience. use the goodwill of the first movie...

profit



"good idea" for studio means "good idea to make money" - not "good idea for a good movie"
