I like Jim Carrey. I loved the Ace Ventura movies and thought Cable Guy was pretty awesome.
Who IS making this? is it the same people that did the original Mask?
I saw the trailer before RotK too, and me and me mum just looked at each other in a ‘wow is that going to suck the biggest dick ever.’ the CGI baby looks crap too.
You want a film with a baby? Baby’s Day Out.
best. baby film. ever.
I dare anyone to dispute this fact
Sounds like Carrey was saying: “This movie will suck terribly. If you want me in it, you’ll have to fork over serious moolah to cover for the damage to my career. And I get rights to stomp all over your inevitably sucky choice for director and lame-ass script.”
So you’ve heard the premise? What exactly IS the premise? Is it really what’s alluded to in the trailer, e.g. “Baby Mask”? An infant gets the powers of the mask?
Didn’t Dark Horse have anything to say about this? :mad:
They could’ve continued the story without Jim Carrey. Cameron Diaz would have probably been great as the Mask. She seems to enjoy being goof-ball. And besides, that’s how it went in the comics.
But I dont recall ever seeing any damn babies in the comics.
Last we saw in the original movie Stanley’s dog, Milo, and his buddy (name forgotten) were both paddling after it. I think I’d rather see a sequel with Milo.
DD
I thought his dog’s name was Rimshot. What movie was that?
I’m with you, DesertDog. If they’re going to make a lame-ass sequel centered around lame-ass special effects, I’d much rather see the dog as the main character. I mean, it would at least have a remote chance of being halfway ok …
Yup. The implication is that Stanley Ipkiss (or whoever gets the Loki mask next) wears it, uses its transformation powers, then has Wild Crazy Lovin’ with some gal.
Loki-mask-enabled-sperm impregnates egg. Wait nine months, and a crappy movie is born.
Wow, am I lame. I thought the OP was going to be about that Eric Stoltz/Cher movie from the 80’s. :o
CGI naked dancing babies are nasty! Nasty, nasty, nasty!! :mad:
What kind of drugs do you have to be to greenlight that project?
What I want to know is what kind of drugs you have to do to see that movie and how are they going to get enough for everyone?
It’s called “money”. Other street terms are “moolah”, “greenbacks”, “dead presidents”, and the like. It’s a terribly, terribly addictive substance, though it causes one of the best highs you can get, and can last for years - even decades - if you take enough of it.
Unfortunately, money is a disassociative, and the user may soon find that reality, and his perceptions of reality, just no longer jibe.
Here’s my theory presented for your consideration.
The dancing baby is the SON of Jim Carrey’s character and somehow the mask has altered his DNA which is passed onto the kid.
Obviously there’s no Jim Carrey in this movie, and I dont think Cameron Diaz is going to play the mother, so my guess is they’ll probably have that guy who dived in after the mask (at the end of the first movie) play the father of this kid.
Naturally the kid grows up, I assume this is because Jamie Kennedy stars. So my deduction is that we’ll see some lame “growing up with the powers of a cartoon character” stuff, it’ll be repressed by the kid after he scares the hell out of people, and then manifested again as a grown adult (barely, its Jamie Kennedy for cryin out loud).

Rimshot is Ernest P. Worrell’s dog, from the venerable Ernest series.
Decent speculation, but inaccurate.
See this page for some history on the project. The premise gives us Jamie Kennedy as the hero, a cartoonist, whose infant son gets a hold of the Mask and goes hog-wild Ka-ray-zee! and shit. Cue Loki, who wants the Mask back, and Kennedy must keep his kid safe and under control while fending off the mischevous deity.
So it’s a good news bad news thing. The good news is that the creepy CGI baby is not the hero of the movie; he’s just a headache for the actual protagonist. The bad news is that he doesn’t grow up and disappear after the first few minutes, as theorized by raizok; the Electronic Dough Baby is present throughout. The good news is that Alan Cumming plays Loki, and no movie with Alan Cumming can be entirely bad. The bad news is that in order to see Alan Cumming in this movie, you will have to see this movie.
The good news is that it doesn’t come out until October, so we have a slight reprieve before it lands in the multiplex. The bad news is that it doesn’t come out until October, so we’ll be plagued with that nightmarish commercial for months to come.
