Dumb And Dumber 2 has been confirmed to shoot in September.
Co-director
Peter Farrelly has revealed plans for a follow-up to the hit 1994 comedy about the cross-country adventures of two intellectually-challenged friends. But he insisted that the new film will be the first true sequel.
He told
ComingSoon.net: "We're getting set to shoot
Dumb And Dumber 2 in September. It's the first sequel we’ve ever done and we've got
Jim Carrey and
Jeff Daniels back."
2003 saw the release of prequel
Dumb And Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd, but it did not feature the original stars. Farrelly emphasised: "We did not do
Dumb And Dumberer. That was a studio thing.
"So we've always wanted to do a sequel and Jim called up. Jeff always wanted to do it. We always wanted to do it. Jim was busy, but he called and said, 'We've got to do this thing again'. He had just watched
Dumb And Dumber and he said, 'This is the perfect sequel. Let's do it."
Farrelly will once again direct with his brother Bob, and Sean Anders and John Morris will write the screenplay.
