Diaz, Carrey Land Post-Game Roles
Cameron Diaz's next role will be a sober one, while Jim Carrey's will start off that way.
The erstwhile costars of The Mask, once slated to share the big screen again in A Little Game Without Consequence before that deal fell through, have new, albeit separate, projects in the pipeline.
Diaz is set to play one half of an unhappily married couple who unwittingly open an innocuous-looking package that promises instant wealth to its beholder and death to a stranger, depending on which button you push, in the horror flick The Box.
Donnie Darko director Richard Kelly will be on hand to up the eerie factor of the tale, based on the Richard Matheson short story Button, which also inspired a Twilight Zone episode in the 1980s.
Producers are reportedly shooting for a PG-13 rating, the better to attract the scary movie-loving tween demographic and simultaneously distance itself from the still cranking torture-porn canon.
"The story line has all the commerciality of The Ring, but with Richard and Cameron, this film can rise to the level of Rosemary's Baby and The Others," New Media Capital cofounder Modi Wiczyk, whose company is independently financing the film, told Variety.
Carrey, meanwhile, has signed on to star in Sober Buddies as a court-appointed sponsor who's supposed to keep his software executive charge off the sauce during an important business trip to Las Vegas, but instead goes on his own binge.
Writer Andrew Kurtzman is currently working on the script. Before the comedy starts shooting, however, Carrey has to decide where else he wants to ply his trade in the coming year. Per trade reports, the rubber-faced funnyman-cum-underrated dramatic actor is weighing several projects, including Tim Burton's troubled take on Ripley's Believe It or Not; the dark comedy I Love You Phillip Morris, in which he'd play a gay escaped convict; and the laugher Me Time, playing a husband-turned-nursemaid for his wife and in-laws.
Carrey is also lending his Seussical voice to the upcoming Horton Hears a Who!
Last year, Diaz and Carrey had been planning to re-team for the romantic comedy A Little Game Without Consequence, but both ended up dropping the movie in October after reportedly becoming un-enamored with the latest version of the script. That led to the departure of director Gabriele Muccino, which left Focus Features scrambling for a new crew. According to IMDb, Ang Lee is now attached to helm the film, which is currently without a cast.
But while Diaz is coming off the expected success that was Shrek the Third, which has earned $311 million stateside, so far, Carrey's last three films combined haven't reached that amount. His latest, the largely panned psychological thriller The Number 23, grossed only $35.2 million in U.S. theaters.
