In the ‘90s, there was no bigger comedy star than Jim Carrey. While the In Living Color actor was a relative unknown when he was signed on for films like Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, the runaway success of the mystery comedy made him a star like no other. In the same year, he delivered two more hits and became the biggest name in Hollywood.

While he lost some of his success with experiments like The Truman Show and Man on the Moon, a good old comedy reportedly brought him back to the top as its box office success netted him a higher payday than a lot of his other films. The actor was reportedly not paid a salary for the 2008 comedy Yes Man, which was consistently in Netflix’s top 10 list in the UK.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was a risk, far from his usual slapstick comedies. Yet, it became one of his most celebrated performances. After his breakout year in 1994 with Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber, Carrey jumped to the A-list. A year later, he played the Riddler in Batman Forever and returned as Ace Ventura in When Nature Calls. Both films were huge hits.

By 1996, Jim Carrey made history. He became the first actor to earn a $20 million paycheck for The Cable Guy. The film, a dark comedy, was divisive. It earned only $60 million at the box office, making Carrey’s salary nearly half the production budget. But his price tag was set. He remained one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actors.

Acclaimed actor Steve Carell remains beloved by many for being the face of one of this century's greatest sitcoms, The Office. Fans can soon catch up on the film that helped Carell land his career-changing role as Bruce Almighty is set for an imminent streaming debut on Peacock.

Peacock confirmed that Bruce Almighty, the 2003 fantasy comedy starring acting legend Jim Carrey in the titular role, will be released on Apr. 1. The Universal Pictures film landed on Netflix on Jan. 1. However, Netflix subscribers don't have much longer to watch the movie as it will leave the popular streaming service on the same day it hits Peacock.

Helmed by Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Liar Liar director Tom Shadyac, Bruce Almighty chronicles Buffalo-based TV field reporter Bruce Nolan (Carrey), who covets becoming his station's top news anchor before the role is given to his rival, Evan Baxter (Carell). After an on-camera outburst...

Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Worldwide Box Office: Becomes Jim Carrey’s Biggest Film (Photo Credit – Facebook)

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is a critical and commercial success and is now also the biggest hit in Jim Carrey’s career. The film has beaten the actor’s Bruce Almighty, which has held the record since 2003. The movie was initially projected to cross the $500 million milestone at the worldwide box office. Keep scrolling for the deets.

Jim is one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood. He established himself as a comedian known for his slapstick performances. Besides iconic comic roles, he has also achieved success in dramatic roles. Some of his notable films include The Mask, The Truman Show, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. He has won multiple accolades in his career, including more than one Golden Globe award. According to The Numbers, his films have accumulated more than $6.2 billion worldwide.

Alexa, play 'Don't Hold Back' and get ready to dance through some lasers, because Doctor Robotnik has officially beaten God himself. With a worldwide box office total of $485.7 million and counting, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has become Jim Carrey’s highest-grossing movie of all time, surpassing his previous record-holder, Bruce Almighty. The latest installment in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise has continued its remarkable streak of box office success, proving that Carrey’s return as the villainous and incompetent Dr. Ivo Robotnik was a massive draw for audiences, and this time, we actually got two of him. Talk about more bang for your buck.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is clinging on to the ground with its everything and is set to surpass Tom Hardy starrer Venom: The Last Dance to achieve a notable feat before leaving the theatres. The film had a great start at the US box office and kept growing steadily worldwide, but Mufasa: The Lion King did better. Scroll below for the deets.

A few days back, Sonic 3 surpassed Keanu Reeves starrer The Matrix‘s $467.84 million global haul to become the action star’s third highest-grossing of all time. It is also among Jim Carrey’s highest-grossing films. The action-adventure flick has the potential to become Carrey’s biggest hit by surpassing his Bruce Almighty. The comedy movie collected $485 million in its global run.

It's official: Sonic is the king of live-action video game movies. In just a handful of years, "Sonic the Hedgehog" has gone from a beloved collection of Sega games and cartoon series to a global multi-media franchise, led by the big screen adaptations funded by Paramount Pictures. Those pictures have been a good investment, as the "Sonic" movies are now a $1 billion property thanks to "Sonic the Hedgehog 3." More importantly, with its theatrical run winding down, the third installment has passed a major milestone.

As of this writing, director Jeff Fowler's "Sonic 3" has made $462.5 million worldwide, with an almost dead even split between domestic and international audiences. With that, it has officially passed 2019's "Detective Pikachu" ($450 million worldwide) to become the highest-grossing live-action video game movie in history. While that figure doesn't account for inflation, it does...

Jim Carrey’s Last 5 Films At The Worldwide Box Office(Photo Credit – Instagram)

Jim Carrey is one of the highest-grossing actors of all time. He currently appears in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 as Professor Gerald Robotnik/Dr Ivo ‘Eggman’ Robotnik. He is a versatile actor who is unparalleled in the comedy space. The videogame-based movie is performing well at the box office and has crossed the $400 million mark as well. As the film is moving towards its next milestone, let’s look at Carrey’s last five films at the worldwide box office.

Carrey is known for his slapstick performances and gained wide recognition with hits including Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, and Batman Forever. As a result, he reportedly became the first comic actor to receive an upfront salary of $20 million for performing in films starting with The Cable Guy.

In 2003, Bruce Almighty — the third collaboration between Tom Shadyac and Jim Carrey (following Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Liar Liar) — was released. The film follows Bruce Nolan (Carrey), an unlucky television reporter who yearns for sustenance. Fed up with his stifling white-collar existence, he constantly criticizes God, labeling him inept. Triggered, God (Morgan Freeman) appears to him and gives him spiritual powers for one week, daring him to do things differently. Because this is a Jim Carrey character, we don’t get to see any honorable acts. The free-spirited Bruce seizes the chance and uses the powers to inject adventure into his life in the most devious ways possible.

Two of the best movies of Jim Carrey’s career got two of the worst sequels ever made, and they each used the same ridiculous premise to get around Carrey’s absence. Carrey has famously been trepidatious about doing sequels ever since his first one was a disaster. He prefers to explore new stories and new characters with each project instead of going back to rehash a familiar role. A lot of the sequels he’s been in, like Kick-Ass 2 and Batman Forever, have been sequels to movies he wasn’t in.

Of course, there have been a few exceptions. He reprised his role as Lloyd Christmas in the belated sequel to Dumb and Dumber, and he’s appeared as Dr. Robotnik in all three of the Sonic the Hedgehog movies. But for the most part, Carrey has avoided making sequels. He never made a sequel to Liar Liar...

The awfulness of 2024 is almost over, Netflix fans! We now get to look forward to what the streamer will bring us to start the new year. And there is so much good stuff, we will probably pack our excitement into lots of different articles on this site.

The list below are not all new films (one is), but they are new (or have returned) to Netflix. If you haven't seen three of them, why not? Never mind. You can see them in January.

The movie to avoid is one you will likely either love or hate. Just don't watch the movie that preceded it first. That only makes the sequel look ridiculously bad. In fact, because it is.

Bruce Almighty, one of the most beloved comedies by genre icon Jim Carrey, will start streaming soon on Netflix. Per What’s on Netflix, the platform will add the movie just in time to give you something to laugh about as the holidays come to an end. Starting January 1, Jim Carrey fans will be able to eat leftovers from the holidays while watching one of the actor's best films. Which, franckly, sounds like the perfect plan, and Netflix is making it possible.

In Bruce Almighty, Carrey stars as Bruce Nolan, an ordinary TV reporter who’s trying his best to become a news anchor. When he doesn’t get the gig, Bruce reacts badly, and blames everything on God. To Bruce's surprise, God listens to the accusations (God is played by a perfectly cast Morgan Freeman) that he's not doing his job. Bruce is offered the chance to play God,...

Jim Carrey's divisive Christmas movie has become a streaming hit 24 years after its original release. The comedic actor rose to stardom during the 1990s with a series of box office hits, starting with Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber (all released in 1994), followed by Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls and Batman Forever (both in 1995). These hits made Carrey one of the highest-paid comedic actors, starting with the slightly darker comedy, The Cable Guy, in 1996 and Liar Liar in 1997.

Carrey's success as a leading comedic actor continued well into the 2000s, starting with How the Grinch Stole Christmas in 2000, which became the second highest-grossing Christmas movie of all time, and continued with Bruce Almighty, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, and Yes Man in the following years. In 2009, Carrey played multiple characters in the 3D animated adaptation of the classic Charles Dickens story, A Christmas Carol,...

Jim Carrey's most iconic roles get reimagined as cartoon characters, including Dr. Robotnik. The comedic actor, celebrated for his high-energy slapstick performances, achieved stardom with a series of blockbuster hits during the 1990s, including Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, Dumb and Dumber, and Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. Since the 2010s, Carrey has starred in fewer films, though one of his recent highlights has been Dr. Robotnik, a role he recently reprised for Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

Now, some new fan art shared by richietoons on Instagram reimagines Jim Carrey's most iconic roles, including Dr. Robotnik, as cartoon characters. The art, captioned "Jim Carrtoons", also includes Ace Ventura, The Mask, the Grinch, and Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber. Check out the fan art below:

Though he has been known for some dramatic roles as well, Jim Carrey has been a notable comedy actor for a couple of decades at this point. These comedies include higher-profile works such as a The Truman Show along with goofier parts in films like Dumb & Dumber, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. This year, Carrey will play a goofy comedy role again in the soon-to-be-released Sonic the Hedgehog 3. This time around, Carrey will play both Ivo and Gerald Robotnik in the threequel.

Morgan Freeman's career is in some ways the foil to Carrey's. In an inversion of Carrey's patterns, Freeman's career has consisted mostly of dramas, with the occasional comedy thrown in. He has been nominated for multiple Oscars, winning Best Supporting Actor in 2005 for his performance in Million Dollar Baby. One of the actor's most distinctive qualities is his voice.

Ron Howard's spellbinding adaptation of the Dr. Seuss beloved classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas is undeniably one of the most celebrated and rewatched holiday staples, with comedic legend Jim Carrey delivering an unforgettable performance as the titular misanthropic creature. The festive flick famously tells the story of the Christmas-hating Grinch as he devises a scheme to ruin the joyful celebrations for the residents of Whoville by stealing all their presents and decorations.

Both a critical and commercial triumph, the entertaining film became a blockbuster hit and grossed over $346 million worldwide and earned Carrey a much-deserved Golden Globe nomination for his delightfully devious portrayal. With a decorated ensemble cast including Jeffrey Tambor, Christine Baranski, and Molly Shannon, How the Grinch Stole Christmas is in constant rotation during the holiday season in households all across the globe and remains a cherished cinema hit; let's see where the talented cast is today.

Did Jim Carrey earn handsomely by making a bold move? (Photo Credit – Facebook)

Known for hilarious hits like Dumb and Dumber and deeply nuanced roles in movies like The Truman Show, Jim Carrey proved time and again that he could bring any character to life. But there was a twist in his career where a bold, unconventional deal turned into a jackpot.

After a couple of setbacks, including Fun with Dick and Jane, Carrey found himself doubting his choices and career direction. Instead of sinking into self-pity, he took a gamble on Yes Man. But here’s the kicker—Carrey didn’t take a paycheck upfront. Instead, he made an audacious move by negotiating a deal to get 36.2% of the profits. Yeah, you heard that right. There is no upfront cash, just a percentage of whatever Yes Man would make.

Most actors would’ve laughed at this deal for being too risky,...

Morgan Freeman has played a variety of roles throughout his career, but hes mostly known for his mentor roles and one of his most hilarious roles ended up flipping this typecast in the best way. Morgan Freeman is one of the most popular and respected actors of his generation and with good reason, as he has shown his incredible acting range in a variety of movies in a career that spans six decades. Freemans acting debut was in the 1964 drama The Pawnbroker, but his big break arrived in 1987 in the crime thriller Street Smart.

Since then, Freeman has been part of a variety of movies in both main and secondary roles, and among his most notable projects are Driving Miss Daisy, Glory, The Shawshank Redemption, Se7en, and Christopher Nolans The Dark Knight trilogy. Freeman has also been part of more lighthearted stories, such as Bruce Almighty, where he played God,...

The Steve Carell movie Evan Almighty was at one time the most expensive comedy movie ever, in addition to being an enormous box office bomb. The 2007 movie was a sequel to 2003's Bruce Almighty, which starred Jim Carrey in the title role. The follow-up, which featured an ensemble cast that included Morgan Freeman, Lauren Graham, John Goodman, John Michael Higgins, Jimmy Bennett, and Wanda Sykes, focused on the story of a previously minor Bruce Almighty supporting character named Evan Baxter who was played by Carell, who had since risen to fame playing Michael Scott on the sitcom The Office.

In addition to being a television star, Carell would go on to be a major movie star. One of his best-known roles is voicing the reformed supervillain Gru in the Despicable Me movies, but he has held many major roles outside of the animated franchise in both comedies and dramas. This...

Jennifer Aniston has starred in some of the most beloved rom-coms ever made, but looking closely at her filmography revealed many films that viewers may have missed. While movies like Along Came Polly and Bruce Almighty stood out as highly acclaimed and well-known rom-coms, Aniston has consistently starred in lesser-known releases that deserve more attention and recognition. Even as she starred as Rachel Green on Friends for ten years, Aniston still carved out time in her busy schedule for some heartfelt, hilarious, and often zany rom-com love stories.

Many of the best Jennifer Aniston movies were rom-coms, but there were plenty more titles that audiences may have never heard of. While these lesser-known releases varied in quality, and some were unknown for a reason, Aniston always brought her unique charm and comedic persona to every part she played. Even though they may not be as well-known as her best work,...

A brilliant sequel idea for Bruce Almighty involving Satan's powers may have changed the fate of the franchise. Jim Carrey was on board with the pitch for "Brucifer," a sequel that sadly never made it past the planning stage. Carrey's willingness to return for this unusual sequel showcases his rare exceptions for sequels he normally avoids.

A genius sequel pitch for Jim Carrey's Bruce Almighty has come to light, and I'm pretty bummed that it never became a reality. The original 2003 film, which saw Carrey's character (the titular Bruce) gain God's (Morgan Freeman's) powers, was a smash hit, bringing in $485 million at the global box office. Bruce Almighty's success quickly inspired a unique sequel idea starring Carrey, but the pitch never came to anything. Instead, Evan Almighty hit theaters in 2007, ending the franchise with a box office bomb. Based on what we know about the Carrey pitch, things might have gone very differently.

Jim Carrey's performance in The Bad Batch is a departure from his usual comedic roles, showcasing a different side of his acting abilities. Despite a minor role, Carrey's portrayal as The Hermit is a standout in the film, adding a unique touch to the dystopian Western thriller. The Bad Batch offers a visually mind-bending experience with Carrey's performance adding depth to the unusual and darkly funny narrative.

Jim Carrey delivers a stand-out performance in one underrated cannibal thriller, though many don't even know he's even in the role. Carrey has played many notable characters in his career, often in comedy films. Carrey's films are typically high-grossing, filled with slapstick comedy, ridiculous humor, and zany plots. Despite this trend, Carrey's acting skills have allowed him to excel in all genres, including post-apocalyptic wasteland action films, showing a range beyond just comedy movies.

Some of Carrey's best-known dramatic performances include projects...

For a decade, Friends became every viewer’s favorite sitcom. The relatability of the show about 6 friends navigating life in New York saw stars like Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer gaining superstar status. Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc too, became extremely popular faces.

One of the key plot lines that evolved and developed over all seasons, was the love story between Aniston’s Rachel Green and Schwimmer’s Ross Geller. While the series culminated on a happy note for both characters, one particular arc that saw a bitter breakup between them, is now being analyzed by fans regarding who really was at fault.

Jim Carrey's comedy film Bruce Almighty received mixed reviews and a 48% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. A theory suggests that Morgan Freeman's character was Satan, not God, making the movie more entertaining and fitting with Satan's actions. The theory of Freeman being an evil genie or Satan adds a new perspective to Bruce Almighty, enhancing the viewing experience.

Jim Carreys comedies, while entertaining and funny, are often simple in their premises, but one theory completely changes one of his lowest-rated comedies on Rotten Tomatoes for the better. Jim Carrey is best known for his comedic work thanks to his style of physical comedy, satire, and impressions, though he has also found success in more serious and dramatic roles. Still, Carreys legacy will be his comedy roles, of which many, while being box-office hits and getting a warm reception from general audiences, havent been the critics favorites, and among them is Bruce Almighty.

There are only a handful of names in Hollywood whom people consider comedy legends, and Jim Carrey is undoubtedly among them. When Carrey is in a scene, there’s nothing that can distract viewers from soaking in all the amazing talent he brings.

However, Steve Carell is another standout who has earned his place as a legend. From his work in The Office to Despicable Me, he has proven himself to be not only a skilled actor but also a fantastic comedian. His mastery of physical comedy is unmatched, particularly evident in scenes like the one from Bruce Almighty, which some believe should have earned him an Oscar.

Steve Carell Deserves an Oscar for This Scene

When revisiting the comedic gem of Bruce Almighty, one standout scene that consistently leaves audiences roaring with laughter is the newscaster scene with Steve Carell‘s Evan Baxter.

Morgan Freeman is one of the most respected actors in Hollywood. In his career, which has spanned nearly six decades, the actor has rightly earned a reputation for being one of the best in the business.

The Unforgiven actor has teamed up with an assortment of other artists, but his work with Jim Carrey was very special. Carrey himself is regarded as one of the most versatile actors. From comedic performances in films like The Mask, to a poignant one in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, his talent is limitless. Unsurprisingly, if Freeman got a chance to work with Carrey again, he would agree to it in a heartbeat.

Morgan Freeman is ready to work with Jim Carrey again

Morgan Freeman and Jim Carrey are two of Hollywood’s biggest stars. Their collaboration on Bruce Almighty in 2003 was mouthwatering for their fans,...

The film industry was very different in the early 2000s than it is now. It was a period when franchise films were still relatively rare. And the box office was dominated by A-list stars who could draw audiences to theaters based solely on their names. As one of the biggest stars of the time, Jim Carrey also enjoyed great success with his 2003 flick, Bruce Almighty.

What distinguished Tom Shadyac’s film from most of the Carrey films that came before it was that the actor was not the only humorous element in the story. He has many of the funniest scenes with his co-star Morgan Freeman, who played the ‘God’ in the movie.

In an interview with the BBC, the Canadian-born actor admitted to feeling intimidated by Freeman. Carrey truly believed that everyone in the film industry was hesitant to work with the Oscar-winning star.

Just when you think you’ve seen every 1980s slasher flick, Vinegar Syndrome humbles you by unearthing yet another low-budget horror film lost in time and space, this time with 1984’s Fatal Games (originally titled The Killing Touch).

Fatal Games is the story of Olympic-hopeful medalists being systematically picked off one-by-one at the Falcon Academy, the main setting for the film’s events. Each time one of the characters has been nixed, the killer scratches out their likeness from a group photo containing the academy’s pool of victims.

If you think this sounds similar to 1981’s Graduation Day, you would be on the right track. Director Michael Elliot, who also stars in his film as Dr. Jordine, builds onto the foundation of Graduation Day to create his own ’80s horror film. In between the killings, we are treated to some detailed character development storylines including the trials and tribulations of being a young athlete,...

Spanish director J.A. Bayona’s Society of the Snow lands on Netflix on Jan. 4. The film is the latest cinematic retelling of the miraculous story of the Uruguayan rugby team that crash-landed on a glacier in the heart of the Andes in 1972, with the survivors being forced to resort to extreme measures to stay alive. After debuting in Venice, Society of the Snow has picked up plenty of awards on the international film festival circuit, and it recently made the shortlists in four categories for the 2024 Academy Awards, including best international feature film.

Uncredited script doctors make significant contributions to movies, improving dialogue and strengthening themes and characters. Writers like Judd Apatow and Kevin Smith have injected humor and unique visions into movies, leading to box office success. Notable writers such as Shane Black and Charlie Kaufman have made key contributions to iconic movies, shaping the characters and adding depth to the stories.

Plenty of movies have undergone behind-the-scenes rewrites from uncredited talents that either integrated seamlessly into the existing script or drastically changed their finished products. Some movies have hired Academy Award-winning screenwriters to improve a movie's dialogue or plot or work on a project as a consultant regarding a specific subject the movie in question centers around. Other movies will bring writers early in their careers on board to work with a more established writer to help them improve their craftsmanship significantly. Regardless of the intent, most Hollywood movies employ multiple...

Exclusive: Deadline has learned that Prime Video has taken global rights to Ricky Stanicky from Oscar-winning Green Book director Peter Farrelly.

Additionally, Sorry to Bother You‘s Jermaine Fowler has joined the cast and will star alongside Zac Efron and John Cena. Ricky Stanicky, which marks a return to comedy for Farrelly, commences production in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia this month. Deadline first told you about the R-rated project.

In the film, three friends invent a character to use to get out of tricky predicaments, but they have to hire an actor to portray their fictional friend when their significant others become suspicious.

Producers include Paul Currie via Footloose Productions, Thorsten Schumacher via Rocket Science, in association with John Jacobs via Smart Entertainment. The script, written by Farrelly, Brian Jarvis (Wishbone at Universal), and James L.

It has been revealed that Jim Carrey’s hit 2003 film Bruce Almighty almost had two sequels.

Screenwriters Steve Koren and Mark O’Keefe shared their plans for Brucifer, a Bruce Almighty sequel that would’ve found Carrey’s character gaining the powers of a devil instead of God.

In the original film, Carrey plays the role of Bruce Nolan, a television reporter who complains to God that he is not doing his job correctly and is offered the chance to try being God himself for one week.

“[Carrey’s] manager and him wanted to do Brucifer,” Koren told Syfy. “We went in and pitched it, but it never quite worked out, because it was later on… It would have been another giant movie and I don’t think they wanted to do it. It just didn’t work out for some reason, but a lot of people loved it, including Jim.”

While Brucifer...

“Bruce Almighty” remains one of Jim Carrey’s biggest hits with 484 million at the worldwide box office, so it’s no wonder co-screenwriters Steve Koren and Mark O’Keefe cracked an idea for a sequel that would bring back Carrey’s Bruce Nolan. In a recent interview with Syfy, Koren and O’Keefe revealed their plans for “Brucifer,” a “Bruce Almighty” sequel that would’ve found Carrey’s character gaining the powers of Satan instead of God.

In “Bruce Almighty,” Carrey played a stressed news reporter who gains the powers of God (played by Morgan Freeman). Bruce’s newfound omnipotence complicates his relationship with girlfriend Grace (Aniston). Koren and O’Keefe said they pitched the sequel, “Brucifer,” to producer Michael Bostick on the night “Bruce Almighty” opened in theaters in May 2003.

“[Jim Carrey’s] manager and him wanted to do ‘Brucifer,'” Koren said. “We went in and pitched it, but it never quite worked out,...

2003’s Bruce Almighty was such a smash hit that it got its inevitable sequel, Evan Almighty, in 2007, albeit without Jim Carrey. But it almost played out differently, with Jim Carrey reprising his role–but instead of playing God, he would be granted the powers of Satan.

The sequel, which would have been titled Brucifer, was something Jim Carrey was highly interested in but it didn’t get as far as intended. According to co-writer Steve Koren, “We went in and pitched it, but it never quite worked out, because it was later on…It would have been another giant movie and I don’t think they wanted to do it. It just didn’t work out for some reason, but a lot of people loved it, including Jim.”

One key reason it never got greenlit by the studio was that the pitch came in 2010, three years after Evan Almighty was...

A brilliant Bruce Almighty 2 pitch from the original movie's writers saw Jim Carrey become Satan. The 2003 comedy starred Carrey as Bruce Nolan, a down-on-his-luck television reporter who, for one week, is granted the opportunity to be God (played by a perfectly cast Morgan Freeman) and gains the power of omnipotence. Carrey's star power combined with the comedy's intriguing premise resulted in an immense box office success, but despite being one of the highest-grossing comedies of all time, Bruce Almighty never released a proper sequel. Evan Almighty, a spinoff focusing on Steve Carrell's character, was released in 2007 and was a colossal critical and commercial flop.

During a recent interview with SyFy Wire, Bruce Almighty screenwriters Steve Koren and Mark O'Keefe revealed their intriguing idea for a sequel that saw Bruce gaining Satan's powers, which was naturally titled "Brucifer." The screenwriting duo actually pitched the idea to producer Michael Bostick...

Daredevil's nuanced depiction of faith feels as genuine and bruising as a physical blow from the protagonist himself. Other mainstream stories tend to favor two-dimensional, catchphrase-like platitudes (think Bruce Almighty) or manipulative, exclusionist villainy (Margaret White in Carrie), but Matt Murdock's (Charlie Cox) spirituality is dynamically fleshed out and a surprisingly honest depiction of real-world belief: profound, complex, and as painful as it is rewarding. And while many, many stories have featured Catholicism over the decades, this careful authenticity makes Daredevil a potently accurate representation instead of lazy caricature.

Gene Lebell, who had an acting and stunt career that stretched from The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet to 24 and who the WWE called today “a towering figure in the world of martial arts,” has died. He was 89.

Lebell reportedly had more than 1,000 TV and movie credits, mostly as a stuntman, but also as a heavy, often a fight referee and sometimes a colorful background character. Dubbed “The Godfather of Grappling,” he faced off onscreen against Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Bruce Lee. He refereed Muhammad Ali’s infamous fight against Japanese wrestler Antonio Inoki. Holding a 10th degree red belt in Judo and a 9th degree black belt in Ju-jitsu, helped train everyone from Lee to Norris to “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and Ronda Rousey.

“Gene was the guy who taught Bruce Lee about grappling,” according to comedian, podcaster and UFC color commentator Joe Rogan.

Will the movies ever let religion back into the mainstream? It doesn’t seem likely, given the secular bent of most critics, festivals, and film awards. But the question could certainly occur to any thoughtful viewer of Marco Pontecorvo’s Fátima, which is set for release by Picturehouse in theaters and via PVOD on Aug. 28.

The film, which has been shown in pop-up previews for the last few weeks, is about the heavenly visions of three young children, who in 1917 said they encountered the Blessed Virgin Mary in a field near Fátima, Portugal. Believers flocked to the site. There may have been miracles. And Mary, said the children, confided three “secrets,” which became the core of an enduring Catholic cult that eventually found of the two young people, Francisco and Jacinta Marto, canonized as saints following their deaths in the 1918 flu pandemic, and made the third, Lùcia dos Santos, a...

Jim Carrey has just released Memoirs and Misinformation, a semi-biographical novel starring himself as the lead character struggling with ennui. The Mask, Bruce Almighty and The Truman Show star recently appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to promote it and explained the surprising origins of the book’s cover.

Speaking by Zoom from an isolated Montreal cabin he’s living in during quarantine, Carrey explained that the cover “is actually my face after being told that I had 10 minutes to live.”

“And that’s for real. A fake missile alert in Hawaii. I was there. I was writing. My assistant Linda called me, she was crying, she said, ‘We have 10 minutes left.’ I said, ‘What do you mean?’ She said, ‘The missiles are coming.”

Carrey’s referring to the infamous incident in Hawaii in January 2018 in which an emergency alert text was sent to all residents of Hawaii...
