Hardly anything else is well known in regards to the project at this time around around, nevertheless the script will probably be fashioned for Carrey to star. The first film made $484 million worldwide, enough to warrant a follow-up -Body that really didn't feature Carrey's titular character. That film, "Evan Almighty," dedicated to Steve Carell's supporting character and moved things more toward family fare.
