Jim Carrey Loves You, Phillip Morris

Amazingly enough, this isn't a sequel to The Birdcage.

It's actually Jim Carrey and Rodrigo Santoro shooting scenes for I Love You Phillip Morris.

The movie is based on a novel about a married father who gets sentenced to three years in prison. He ends up falling in love with his cellmate, played by Ewan McGregor. When his cellmate gets released, Jim's character escapes from prison three times in order to be with him.

Naturally.

Jason Reitman and Jim Carrey to Team Up

Keep this movie title in your mind: Pierre Pierre.

The comedy will unite Juno director Jason Reitman with Jim Carrey, a pairing we're certainly excited to see in action.

According to Variety, the "politically incorrect" story revolves around a self-indulgent French nihilist (Carrey) who transports a stolen painting from Paris to London.

Reitmen is currently on production duties for Juno-scribe Diablo Cody's latest project Jennifer's Body, starring mega-hottie Megan Fox. Carrey next stars in Yes Man.

Yes Man looks to be a return to the comedic roots of Jim Carrey.

The movie even sound eerily similar to Liar, Liar, during which Carrey's character could not tell a lie. In Yes Man, he must respond with the word "yes" at all times.

Based on the following photo from the movie, apparently he must also play the guitar sometimes...

Jim Carrey Says Yes to Yes Man

Praise the movie gods! Jim Carrey is going back to comedy!

David Heyman, producer of Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix, confirmed this week that's he's collaborating on a film with the former Ace Ventura.

"I've got this film with Jim Carrey called Yes Man, which I hope will get into production in the fall," Heyman told MTV News.

After the disaster that was Carrey's thriller The Number 23, Yes Man â€" based on a book by Danny Wallace â€" will return the actor to the high-concept comedy realm that served him well in Liar, Liar and Bruce Almighty.

"It's about a man who finds himself very depressed, and is always saying no. When friends ask him out, he always says no," Heyman said of the script. "[The film will explore] what happens when he decides to say yes to every thing that comes his way."

When asked what the tone of the movie would be, Heyman insisted it would be old-school Carrey. Thank goodness.

"It's really funny," he said. "It's one of the funniest scripts I've read."
