Longtime funnyman Jim Carrey is no stranger to controversy, especially in relation to his newfound political activism against gun violence. Indeed, there were many raised eyebrows at his anti-NRA Funny or Die video, which was released just shortly after the red band trailer for Kick-Ass 2.
Well, Jim Carrey took to Twitter today with an announcement that I can guarantee is causing heartache and the gnashing of teeth over at Universal, the studio and distributor backing the Kick-Ass sequel.
Nekki has announced that the forthcoming gun fu game, SPINE, will receive a movie adaptation to expand the franchise.
Anthracite Review: This Netflix thriller makes us go down several engaging roads and the twists and turns are delicious.
Stolen Review: Elle Márjá Eira makes an attempt at creating a story revolving Sámi people of Sweden.
so funny... he's such a weird dude
He's so full of s@#$ it's coming out of his mouth. This guy took the role, it was not forced upon him. He read the script and signed up. What a douchebag. Sandy Hook was an abomination, no doubt. But that doesn't give this guy the right to scatterbomb a movie he got paid to make, and from which he took the money. If he gives his paycheck to the Sandy Hook charity, so be it. But I'm sure he has not.
Ahhhh Hollyweird...
Doing films and then vehemently denouncing them never stops being hilarious. I know you have to be weird otherwise people wouldn't pay $10 a ticket, but it's funny anyway. Don't ever change.
I'll never understand Actors who actively denounce guns yet willingly act in movies portraying the very violence they're against. Jim Carry has now joined Aaron Paul's hypocrisy.
Its an odd thing. He was really shaken by the tragedy and did that anti-N.R.A. ad. Being from Canada where violent crimes are rare I could see how this bothered him. That being said, you did the role, you took the money. It is his job to do everything he can to make this movie a hit. Now, he could do the p.r. and take that as a platform to say in light of what happened I am conflicted about the movie and feel that we need to make changes. Then as a result I have established a charity that does xyz.
This also could be some very clever marketing as look how much attention it is getting.
