Jim Carrey wanted to make a found-footage horror movie on the set of Dumb and Dumber To and approached the directing duo Daniels about filming it: 'We're like, 'OK, we're in. This is amazing.''
Jim Carrey wanted to make a found-footage horror movie on the set of Dumb and Dumber To. One of Carrey's many iconic comedies from the 1990s, Dumb and Dumber stars him and Jeff Daniels as Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, two dimwitted yet well-intentioned pals who embark on a cross-country road trip to return a suitcase full of money to its rightful owner, not realizing it was actually left behind as ransom.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The first Dumb and Dumber was filmed partially at the Stanley Hotel in Colorado, which is where Stephen King got the idea for The Shining, and the cast and crew apparently experienced many haunted incidents during production. This gave Carrey the idea to film a horror movie during the production of Dumb and Dumber To.
Very early in our careers, Jim Carrey reached out. He had just seen Paranormal Activity and was like, "Guys, it's found footage and it's horror — have you seen it?" And we were like, "Uh-huh, we've heard of it. Where is this going?" And he was like, "I haven't seen anyone do that — but with comedy. And I have this great idea." Basically, the set of Dumb and Dumber was famously a haunted set.
The Daniels were the perfect choice to direct something as peculiar as a Dumb and Dumber found-footage horror movie. However, it's incredible that Carrey knew that at the time considering it was still early in Kwan and Scheinert's careers. The duo had yet to make Swiss Army Man and had only directed a number of music videos.
It was recently revealed that Carrey was once interested in making a Bruce Almighty sequel titled "Brucifer," which saw his titular character gain the powers of Satan instead of God. Now, his Dumb and Dumber horror idea can be added to the list of unrealized projects Carrey never go to make. With the comedic actor announcing his retirement from acting after Sonic the Hedgehog 2, these are likely just two of many.
