'Ace Ventura Jr.' Trailer -- Need I Say More?
Filed under: Comedy », Warner Brothers », Family Films », Home Entertainment », Remakes and Sequels », Trailers and Clips »
If you weren't exactly sure what to give thanks for on Thursday, it could now be one of two options: You could either be thankful that there's finally a trailer for the likes of Ace Ventura Jr., or you could be thankful that said spin-off is going the direct-to-video route (as well it should).
Starring as the bastard child of Jim Carrey's pet detective is Josh Flitter, appearing in his first lead role after years of being the tubby sidekick to Emma Roberts in Nancy Drew, Robin Williams in License to Wed and Shia LaBeouf in The Greatest Game Ever Played. It seems that he's inherited his father's hairdo and catchphrases, but no discernable comedic ability whatsoever (maybe that'll kick in with puberty, but I'm sure not sticking around to find out).
Ace Ventura Jr. will begin keeping dusty DVD copies of Son of the Mask company when it hits shelves next March.

Check Out Ace Ventura's Offspring
Filed under: Comedy », Remakes and Sequels », Images »
Erik unleased the horror of horrors a year ago when he brought word that Ace Ventura was coming back. Well, not exactly -- Ace's son was coming back for Ace Ventura 3, aka Ace Ventura Jr. Josh Flitter (Nancy Drew) had signed on to play the young offspring of the infamous pet detective. As much as we all could wish it's just a bad dream, Jim Carrey Online has posted a pic from the film, which you can see above.
Apparently, Ace came back to Florida after the adventures of the second installment, got married, and had a son. But then he went off for another remote case and never came back. So, his wife/widow moves on, and soon discovers that her 12-year-old son is becoming just like Ace -- right down to the ridiculous getups and the hair. But lucky for her, he's there to help when a baby panda is abducted and she's arrested for the crime -- Mini Ventura to the rescue!
This sounds so very bad... But you can see for yourself in September, if you'd even want to.

Comic-Con: Sean Young Tells Us She Wants Back On Hollywood's A-List

I was able to catch up with Sean Young during the special Blade Runner: The Final Cut DVD event where she says the rumors about her and Harrison Ford not getting along on set are false, talks about some upcoming projects, and wants to get back on the A-list.
She also wants to return to comedies like Ace Ventura, and wouldn't mind meeting guys like Will Ferrell. Will, are you watching? Maybe she needs to star in a Quentin Tarantino comeback vehicle as a leather-clad vixen who offs loud cell-phone talkers or something. I'm just saying.
Anyhow, check out the video above, and let us know what you think would be Sean's best shot at climbing back up the alphabet onto the fabled A-list.
Interview: Jim Carrey

I recently got the chance to sit down for a brief one-on-one with Jim Carrey during a press junket (translate: press torture simulator) for The Number 23. If you've never seen a junket before, they're pretty brutal. They invite dozens of members of the press to show up, give them interview slots with the talent, and then stick to their schedule tighter than KFC sticks to their secret spices recipe. Seriously, if they put the people in charge of scheduling these things in some sort of high-ranking position at the airlines, there would never be a late flight again. It's scary how efficiently they are run.
Now, keep in mind that this wasn't going to be the Ace Ventura Jim Carrey, or the Bruce Almighty one, but the darker and more brooding Jim Carrey -- closer to the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Carrey than any other. I wanted to ask him why his dramatic roles don't perform as well as his comedic ones, but I was worried that he might respond to the question by leaping across the room and tearing my throat out. Of course, this nervousness resulted in me kicking his foot, and finding out that if he was Tommy Lee Jones, I might have been worse for wear.
At any rate, I was ushered into the mysterious hotel room that was decorated in dark motifs for the film, and sat down with what turned out to be a genuinely nervous Jim Carrey. (Because of course, I'm so famous and all, it must have been slightly intimidating for him.) I found him to be real and honest, and he didn't give "canned" Hollywood answers, which I actually half-expected. Maybe the foot-kicking loosened him up. By the way, the Jenny McCarthy questions were "off limits," so I didn't bother asking those. Check out the video, and Jim's long hair, after the jump.
Yes, There Will be an Ace Ventura 3. Kill Me Now.

You know how, when franchises die out, studios always think it's a really good idea to bring them back with a focus on the main character's wacky kid (or, in the case of The Nutty Professor, grandkid)? And how it never works, and the movies are poorly reviewed and hated by audiences? Well the people at Morgan Creek surely know all this just as well as we do. The problem, however, is that they also know how much money Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls made (several truckloads), and they secretly hope that, even It's not known yet who will direct the film, or if Morgan Creek will come up with enough millions to get Jim Carrey to show up for five minutes and do something stupid (I'm betting the answer to the latter will be yes).
