But don’t hold your breath; it’s called Ace Ventura Junior and follows the adventures of the pet detective’s young son, played by Josh Flitter (left). For those unfamiliar with Flitter’s work, he’s soon to appear in Licence to Wed and Nancy Drew.
David M. Evans is directing and newcomers Justin and Jason Heimberg writing. No word on whether Jim Carrey will make an appearance, but I’d say it’s about as likely as Marlon Brando returning from the dead for ‘The Godfather Junior.’
Hats off to Morgan Creek for taking the ‘Son of the Mask’ route and defecating all over a retro fan-favourite with a childish piece of crud a million miles away from a good idea. Plus, what’s the point in making kids movies based on films that were out years before they were born and have long left the public consciousness. Don’t they know that kids only want their Harry Potter or their Pokémon or whatever’s ‘hip’ or ‘fresh’ at the time?
