Jim Carrey is still the man. He may be getting older, but as evidenced by his semi-mock attempt to scoop up Emma Stone, he's not any less outlandishly hilarious. Dude has still got his comedy swagger in tact, which is why we are far more than mildly enthused that the seminal work of our still-favorite comedian may get a sequel.

According to Deadline, the Farrelly brothers (Kingpin, Shallow Hal, There's Something About Mary) have just wrapped up The Three Stooges and have set their sights on resurrecting 1994's Dumb and Dumber. Unlike the sad prequel that was Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd, which Farrelly's and Carrey had nothing to do with, if Dumb and Dumber 2 goes forward, it will be with the Farrellys' directing and Carrey on board.

Writers Sean Anders and John Morris (Sex DriveI Hate You Dad) have been hired to pen the script, and Carrey has hinted that he would be down to play Lloyd Christmas again, so it looks like Dumb and Dumber numero dos is riding on Jeff Daniels. No pressure, Jeff, no pressure...
