• Would Jim Carrey be playing David Blaine? That sounds hilarious.

• They’ve worked together two times before — in “Bruce Almighty” and “Horton Hears a Who.” This could be funny. Certainly the kind of movie Jim Carrey should be doing. Interesting that “Bruce” was a Carrey vehicle and this one sounds like it’s a Carell vehicle.

• I would watch this. Jim is such a genuine guy, as is Steve. I can see this being a winner, they booth ooze charisma.

• Love this script – really good casting idea and these two are equally strong enough to be great adversaries! Sign the contract, Mr. Carrey!

• YES!!! This film has got funny written all over it. Don Scardino does a fantastic job of directing and producing 30 Rock. According to IMDb, Jason Reitman is polishing the script. Great team. Fantastic premise. And, not another remake. Looks like a winner in my book.

  • Something tells me you didn’t actually have to look at IMDB to know that Jason Reitman is polishing the script. Especially since it doesn’t actually say on normal IMDB that Jason Reitman is polishing the script.

• This sounds like a good role for Jim, but I really wish he go back to making movies for Universal. It seems like he has better success over their with hits like Liar Liar, Man on the Moon, Bruce Almighty, etc.

• Very excited to hear this. Scardino’s a gem, Carell and Carrey are hilarious AND it’s written by Jonathon Goldstein & John Francis Daley who wrote Horrible Bosses. Can’t wait!

• I don’t Carrey to be over-the-top,and I want Carell to stop playing the sadsack roles.
