Seems Borat/Bruno director will hone his cultural stereotyping skills with the help of Jim Carrey as he sets to make a comedy of over the top obnoxious frenchman Pierre Pierre, transporting a stolen painting.
Larry Charles, who steered Sacha Baron Cohen through audacious comic turns in Bruno and Borat, is now ready to do the same for Jim Carrey. Charles has signed on to direct Pierre Pierre, a comedy that has Carrey playing the role of a Frenchman who transports a stolen painting from Paris to London, behaving more obnoxiously than any waiter you’ve ever encountered at Cannes.
So it looks like Jim Carrey is tired of trying to prove himself as a serious actor and is going to return to his natural zany comedy roots and likely spark riots and protests from the French.
I used to love Zany Carrey’s antics, but they got tired on me. It hasn’t been enough of a repreive yet to make me want to do that again.
Mark me down as less than enthused about the project until I see something that makes me laugh.
