Jim Carrey is reportedly interested in doing a sequel to one of his most acclaimed movies. Despite the amount of hit films the star has been in over the decades, Carrey is generally averse to doing sequels, following the lackluster reception of Ace Ventura 2 back in the day. He did break his rule for 2014’s Dumb and Dumber To, though, and he’s about to do so again for the Sonic the Hedgehog follow-up. So it seems he’s changed his mind on the matter by this point.
And the next one of his classics that he wants to do a sequel for is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Insider Daniel Richtman has shared on his Patreon page that he’s heard the star has made it known that he’d be up for returning for some sort of continuation of the 2004 psychological romantic drama. No further details are available at this time, however, so it’s unclear if the project is actually formally underway or not.
Eternal Sunshine starred Carrey as Joel, who goes to a specialist firm that can erase memories to remove the pain of splitting up with his ex-girlfriend, Clementine (Kate Winslet). During the procedure, though, Joel changes his mind and fights to save the memories of his time with Clementine from being wiped from his brain. To say anymore would be to spoil it, but the film does leave the door open for more from these characters, so a sequel could make sense.
That said, it might be difficult to get the talent involved with the original back together again. Director Michel Gondry hasn’t helmed a new movie in a while and screenwriter Charlie Kaufman has never penned a sequel before. It would also probably all depend on whether Winslet would want to do a sequel, too, as the whole appeal of the first film is the couple’s chemistry.
Anyone have any interest in Jim Carrey starring in an Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind sequel? Let us know in the comments.
