  • Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels reprise their classic roles in ‘Dumb and Dumber To’ trailer

    Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels reprise their classic roles in ‘Dumb and Dumber To’ trailer

    MUMBAI: On Tuesday 10 June, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon premiered the exclusive trailer for Dumb and Dumber To starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. 

     

    Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels reprise their signature roles as Lloyd and Harry in the sequel to the smash hit that took the physical comedy and rocked the box office: Dumb and Dumber To. The original film’s directors, Peter and Bobby Farrelly, take Lloyd and Harry on a road trip to find a child Harry never knew he had and the responsibility neither should ever, ever be given.

     

    The Farrelly Brothers have been slowly building up steam for the film, and Jimmy Fallon’s show has been used as a great platform to make announcements about the project. After all, it was Jeff Daniels’ announcement on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last July that started us all down this rabbit hole. It would only seem fitting that the next step in the journey would take place where it all began. As Peter Farrelly explained on his Twitter page, “Jimmy’s our buddy so we’re giving him first crack at it.”

     

    Along with Carrey and Daniels, Dumb and Dumber To also stars Kathleen Turner (Romancing the Stone, Prizzi’s Honor) and Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Lining’s Playbook, American Hustle). The Farrelly brothers produce Dumb and Dumber To alongside Riza Aziz and Joey McFarland of Red Granite Pictures. They are joined by fellow producers Charles Wessler and Bradley Thomas.

  • The Dumb and Dumber duo is back

    The Dumb and Dumber duo is back

    MUMBAI: And now the moment a few of you might have been waiting for: Here’s the first look of the stars on the set of Dumb And Dumber To:  Jeff Daniels, hot off his Best Actor Emmy win on Sunday, and Jim Carrey, hot off – well, Kick-Ass 2 and The Incredible Burt Wonderstone.

    The duo appears to have lapsed easily back into those lovable knuckleheads Harry and Lloyd, a mere two decades after New Line’s Dumb And Dumber grossed a quarter-billion dollars worldwide. Universal is shepherding the madness this time around. There is no word yet on a release date.

    Dumb and Dumber was a 1994 American buddy comedy film starring Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels and Lauren Holly. It was written and directed by the Farrelly brothers, and was their directorial debut. The film followed the cross-country trek of Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, two good-natured but incredibly moronic friends who were trying to return a briefcase full of money to its owner.

    The film was released on 16 December 1994. While initial reception towards Dumb and Dumber was mixed, it was a commercial success and has developed a cult following in the years since. The success of Dumb and Dumber launched the career of the Farrelly brothers and helped advance Carrey’s. The movie spawned an animated TV series, a 2003 prequel, and now this sequel, slated for a 2014 release.
