Nearly 20 Years Later, 'Dumb & Dumber' May Get A Sequel - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Filmmaking siblings Peter and Bob Farrelly are in secret talks to revive the "Dumb And Dumber" comedy franchise - with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels returning as dimwitted best pals Harry and Lloyd.

The brothers admit they're continually approached by fans of the 1994 movie, who quote lines to them, and now they're seriously considering bringing their madcap creations back for a sequel.

Bob Farrelly tells MovieHole.net, "Dumb and Dumber has run a bunch of times on TV in the States, and kids will come up and they'll be able to quote lines from that - lines that I've long forgotten.

"If we could get those two guys back together, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, that might be a worthwhile sequel - and that ball is in motion. We're starting to think about what those two dimwits would be doing 20 years later in life."

The original film spawned a poorly-received prequel, "Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd," which featured Eric Christian Olsen and Derek Richardson in the roles made famous by Carrey and Daniels.

I do not see it happening, from what I remember, Jim Carrey said he rather act in a new movie than do a sequel

I'm pressuring that Ashton Kutchner plays Lloyd Christmas and Sean William Scott plays Harry, those two can be the next best duo...let's just hope they don't go TOO far being like "Dude, Where's My Car?".

Jim Carrey has stated that he doesn't like doing sequels.

So far the only sequel he has done was Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls and that was because of contract obligations.

He backed out of The Mask 2 after The Mask became such a big hit.
