The actor felt the Farrelly Brothers' project lacked studio support, according to a new report.
Jim Carrey has scrapped plans to star in a sequel to his 1994 hit comedy Dumb and Dumber, Entertainment Tonight reports.

Nooooo! The only reason I was looking forward to this one was because of the original cast. With Carrey out, my interest is now gone. Hopefully they just trash it now.
I agree. Bar any deaths, this was one of the saddest announcements in the movie industry in a long time for me, Dumb & Dumber is my favourite comedy of all time. My interest has gone from 100% to 0%.
Yep, time to move on to something else. I like Daniels but he worked well with Carrey on the other side. Without one or the other it just seems to fall apart.
Jim Carrey smartly did the right thing. He's just the King of facial and physical antics.. better than Jerry Lewis I think, but in Dumb and Dumber I thought Jeff Daniels actually had the better part and was a lot funnier although that dream sequence where Jim Carrey with the lighter and the fart scene was spectacularly hilarious.
he's a funny actor a good one at that but the stuff i hear about him not wanting to see his autistic son "basically abandoning him" because of his indifference with his ex is horrible and his son who wants to see him can only see him on tv and movies is just sad.

I mean they should write that film off as a joke...like Ace wakes up and says he's just had a horrible nightmare.

Who knows, maybe they'll be able to drum up studio excitement soon enough. Then they can convince Carrey to come back on.
If they can't get Carrey back, though, I say scrap it. There doesn't really seem a point to do it if Jim and Jeff aren't both doing it.
