Variety News reports that Jim will star in "I Love You Phillip Morris," a dark comedy, written and directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the team behind "Bad Santa" and produced by Andrew Lazar and Far Shariat.
Based on a book by Steve McVicker, the true story based film casts Jim as Steven Russell, a married father whose exploits land him in a Texas jail where he falls madly in love with his cellmate, who eventually is set free leading Russell to escape from Texas prisons four times.
The film combines the lighthearted, romantic and dark tones and Luc Bessons company Europacorp is set to finance it with a bargain $20 million budget.
No indication yet of a timeframe but Jim is said to be engaging in back to back films before the SAG contract expires next summer.
We'll report on this as new information comes to light!

As long as you guys know I'm looking forward to this. A dark comedy? About a gay guy? In Jail? Written by the Bad Santa-writers (they suck)? I wanna know how this is going to end. It's original, that's for sure.
Now, who will Jim Carrey be in love with?

ahhhhhhhh, is he gay (in the movie) hey, the pic looks good, but it is kind of creepy. So anyways...i know he should do Me Time. This is like another Cable Guy. AHHHHHHHHH, i hope it isn't R so i can take my brother to see it, and many others.When once asked what I would do if I met Jim I said that I would give him so many hugs because he is so damn HOT and then I would tell him to get married. Response, "he is hot, but...nevermind."
