According to Variety, Universal Pictures is planning to create the follow-up to
the 2003 hit movie as a starring vehicle for its original lead actor Carrey. The
studio is currently in negotiation with screenwriter duo Jarrad Paul and Andrew
Mogel to pen the script for the sequel project. It is still unclear whether or
not director Tom Shadyac will return to tackle the helming duty for the Bruce
Almighty sequel. The 2003 "Bruce Almighty" sees Carrey playing the titular
character, a TV reporter who is given a chance to have God's power for a week
after complaining to God that his rival Evan gets a promotion as an anchor.
According to AceShowbiz, the first movie successfully raked in almost $500
million worldwide. "Bruce Almighty" is not the only Jim Carrey's hit movie which
is set to get a sequel. Filmmakers Peter and Bobby Farrelly have been planning
to direct a follow-up to 1994's "Dumb and Dumber" with Carrey and Jeff Daniels
being eyed to reprise their roles.  (AceShowbiz)
