Carrey wants 'Me Time'
Jim Carrey is to star in a deeply dull-sounding film for 20th Century Fox.
Mar 29 2007
Jim Carrey seems to sign up to or pull out of a film project every few days, and this week is no different as the rubber-faced funnyman has apparently signed up to star in 'Me Time' for 20th Century Fox.
Only trouble is, it sounds rubbish if the synopsis on Variety is anything to go by: 'Story revolves around a writer penning a book about his great-great-grandmother, a frontier woman. When his pregnant wife has to go on bed rest, leaving him to care for the house and their other child, his confidence is shaken as he reads his ancestor's diary, in which she describes raising a family, plowing the fields and taming the wild environs.'
Fancy seeeing that? No, me neither, but before then Carrey will star in 'Ripley's Believe it or Not' for Tim Burton, whch sounds like a much more exciting prospect.
