For a moment I thought it said Ali G was trying to steal Lebron’s instagram.

Ace Ventura will see a new day at Amazon as a major motion-picture/theatrical with the Sonic the Hedgehog writers.
Um, what?

Man, I remember when there were THREE (Saturday morning?) cartoons on the air based on Carrey's hits: Ace Ventura, the Mask and Dumb and Dumber. You can even throw in a fourth if Batman counts.

Oh, lady twins now. I guess I was hoping that Jeremy Irons was also playing a long-lost triplet in the sequel. And yes, I know that there are complications with this potential storyline given the ending of the original film, but we are talking about bringing back “beloved characters” after all.

Not to be the woke police, but have people ever reckoned with the whole “Einhorn is Finkle” thing from the first Ace Ventura? Seems like grounds enough for people to not want to revisit the film.

It’s definitely used a lot on the internet as an example of transphobia in media. I think the image of Ace Ventura is pretty divorced from the movies though.

WOW. Skolimowski has directed Polanski's wife, but I think this is the first major collaboration between the two of them, no?

Ah. I knew about the Lodz Film School connection and their friendship, but I completely forgot that Skolimowski has a writing credit on that.

And Innocent Sorcerers, in which they both appeared and which Skolimowski co-wrote - they were both Andrzej Wajda protégés.

Michel Hazanavicius has begun production on his next film Z (comme Z), a remake of 2017 Japanese zombie movie One Cut of the Dead starring Romain Duris and Bérénice Bejo

I don't like One Cut and cannot see a world in which a Hazanavicius remake improves upon it
