Myers + Carrey


First off does anyone know if Mike Myers and Jim Carrey ever stared together? If so please tell. If not does anyone else think they should team up together!

I don't think those two Canucks have ever worked on a project together.

If you had asked about them teaming up 10-15 years ago, I would say "YES!!" These days, I'm not so sure. Neither one is at the height of his game. I think they can both be incredibly funny, but both have chosen some pretty poor projects of late. A few good ones, but mostly not so much.

Well thanks:)

I would have to agree with the fact of their late projects have not been a hit. Seeing age has happened to both maybe they could think of something to do together. Even if it was slightly dramatic, which could be a great up in Mike Myers career, seeing Jim Carrey has done so. B/a thanks for replying!

I know that Jim Carrey was slated to play Dr. Evil in the Austin Powers franchise, which Myers starred obviously, but Carrey had a scheduling conflict.

But I do agree that if they did a movie together it would definitely be hilarious! theyd also be great in a dramatic movie together, as mentioned.

Wow I did not know that, I could not picture Jim Carrey playing Dr.Evil personally. Well thanks for agreeing about the dramatic idea. Mike Myers in my opinion hides behind comedy, we have all seen Jim Carrey in differnt parts(Eternal Sunshine, The Truman Show and a few others including horror). It would really put Myers up in his career to do a good dramatic role. Well thanks for replying:)

Interesting concept, but as others have mentioned, both of these gents are getting up there in age and experience.

Maybe something like an "odd couple" project, where they could play older characters that reflect off of each other.

Carrey is quite a bit more "manic" than Myers, and Myers does better voices and characterizations of "real people".

I'd like to see it, with the proper project.

that would be the ultimate slapstick comedy duo!
i'm very sure they still got it. with the right director and writers they CAN make the ultimate comedy flick.

I read about a movie in Carrey's in-developent list called Sober Buddies. The movie is about a hard-partying software exec assigned a court-appointed Sober Buddy to keep him under control during a critical business trip to Las Vegas. A perfect plan falls apart when the Sober Buddy (Carrey) falls off the wagon. I could totally see Myers in the opposite role. This could be the movie for them to team up for.

I totally agree:)
