“So … you’re telling me there was an opportunity?”
Movie administrators Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert revealed Tuesday that Jim Carrey needed to create a horror movie impressed by the 1994 comedy “Dumb and Dumber.”
Carrey allegedly approached the duo after seeing the film “Paranormal Exercise” and pitched his concept, Kwan instructed the Hollywood Reporter.
“Very early in our careers, Jim Carrey reached out,” Kwan recalled. “He had simply seen ‘Paranormal Exercise’ and was like, ‘Guys, it’s discovered footage and it’s horror — have you ever seen it?’ And we have been like, ‘Uh-huh, we’ve heard of it. The place is that this going?’ And he was like, ‘I haven’t seen anybody try this — however with comedy. And I've this nice concept.'”
Carey defined that a part of the film was filmed at Colorado’s Stanley Resort — the place Stanley Kubrick filmed his masterpiece “The Shining.”
“Principally, the set of ‘Dumb and Dumber’ was famously a haunted set,” he defined.
“He’s like, ‘The entire time we have been taking pictures, issues have been breaking, folks have been getting damage, doorways have been swinging, and it felt haunted.”
“We’re going to shoot ‘Dumb and Dumber To,’ and I need you guys to do a found-footage horror comedy on the set. Whereas we’re filming, you guys are going to make a feature-length, behind-the-scenes video that slowly turns into a horror movie.’ We’re like, ‘OK, we’re in. That is superb.’ We wrote a complete define and have been actually excited,” continued Kwan.
Kwan mentioned that he, Carrey and Scheinert all pitched their concept to the movie’s producers.
“Then we sat down with the producer, we pitched the thought, and so they’re like, ‘We’re not really going to make this. I’m sorry, Jim bought actually excited, however there’s no means the studio goes to allow us to do a film whereas they’re taking pictures ‘Dumb and Dumber To.'”
The Submit has reached out to Kwan for remark.
In response to Kahn, Carrey was extraordinarily disenchanted by the information responding to the producer’s verdict with a easy “Okay.”
