One studio’s loss is another’s gain as the Dumb and Dumber sequel gets picked up one week after being dropped by Warner Bros.

A few months ago, Jim Carrey backed out of his involvement with Dumb and Dumber 2 due to frustrations with Warner Bros. However, new reports have surfaced stating that Carrey and the rest of the crew still do want the sequel to happen.
Apparently the studios aren’t nearly as excited about a Dumb and Dumber sequel as Jim Carrey is. The comedian has reportedly backed out of the film due to a growing frustration with Warner Bros. and New Line, who clearly don’t share his enthusiasm for a sequel to a decades old cult comedy.
