I'll finally be watching it today!
It's nice to know that while he wants to retire from the cinema he still wants to finish up the movie series he's devoted to. Jim Carrey made his place with the Sonic franchise a a whole, it be a pity he drops from it.
Indeed but he rarely did a sequel (Only Ace Ventura, Dumb & Dumber, and Sonic the Hedgehog), let alone a second sequel.
Jim Carrey had very little interest in reprising his role as Ace Ventura in the sequel back then.
He even spent a lot of time away from the movie production due to "sick leave".
The only reason he agreed to make the film is because of a contractual obligation to do so.
He hated to "impersonate his past self character".
Same character in the sequel had to be different, and we know how different Eggman is in Sonic 2 compared to Sonic 1.
Morgan Creek Entertainment has attempted to persuade Carrey to make more Ace Ventura movies, to which he declined.
That's why now Evan Peters is the one who's going to be Ace Ventura.
Completely understandable really, given how corrupt it was. But not even he could take down the regime.
It's an almost impossible task. One Man Against the World.
