The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Warner Bros. has passed on the “Dumb and Dumber” sequel - tentatively called “Dumb and Dumber To,” starring Jim Carrey and Chelsea’s resident movie star Jeff Daniels - and “will allow the project (to) be shopped to other studios.”

Not only are the original “Dumb and Dumber” (1994) stars attached to the sequel, but directors Bobby and Peter Farrelly are as well. According to THR, the film would tell the story of the duo “hit(ting) the road to find Daniels’ illegitimate daughter for a kidney transplant.”

THR suggests that the reason for Warner Bros. pass on the film may be linked to the poor performance of recent comedies like “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone,” which featured Carrey but grossed just $22 million domestically.
