Looks like that dark comedy I Love You Phillip Morris is getting put aside and its release will be delayed with no reason stated, and no duration offered.
Sorry Philip Morris, somebody really doesn’t love you. I Love You Phillip Morris, a dark comedy starring Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor, which had its premiere way back at Sundance 2009 was scheduled to be released this month. Now, the LA Times is reporting that Consolidated Pictures Group has delayed it indefinitely.
Now my knee jerk reaction is that the studio that picked up the rights to the film have decided its “too gay” for the mainstream audience, but its more likely that they just don’t have the money.
I really like seeing Jim Carrey in comedic roles, and I like him MORE when there is a dramatic element. This looked great, and I am disappointed that its being delayed.
Check out the trailer
I hope this eventually gets released.
