Cameron Diaz said she’d be open to returning for a sequel to the 1994 comedy “The Mask” as long as Jim Carrey is involved.

  • After Dumb & Dumber Too came out and was worse than Dumb & Dumberer, despite having the OG writers and talent: I don’t think I even want a sequel to The Mask even if it had Diaz and Carrey and the original writers.

    There was a sequel! It’s called Son of the Mask, and it’s the worst movie I’ve ever seen. Like, it’s worse than the Ghost Rider sequel.

    I think she is taking a wise position there.

    Her involvement is probably enough to get a project green lit but without Jim Carrey it would feel like a Son of Mask level cash grab.

    The woman is over 50 years old and never was a good actress. She is the same in all her movies, and she was famous because of her looks.

    You guys honestly look forward to seeing her in movies still?

    Yes there is a double standard for men and women in movies, not going to say there isn’t. Bruce Willis doing the same character a million times works since he still looks good and still is cool. But that doesn’t work for Cameron Diaz.

      If you think Willis is always the same guy you haven’t watched Moonlighting. He has range. Then again you think Diaz is bad.

      Edit: watch Brazil and tell me what that character has in common with David Addison or John McClane.

        I would blame his excellent work in Brazil more on John Cleese Terry Gilliam than Bruce himself. Kevin Smith has an entire bit about working with Willis

            Well, that’s just Kevin. I’ve never heard him badmouth anyone. He was singing Ben Affleck’s praises before Affleck made Good Will Hunting

              He literally has/had a podcast dedicated to Hollywood gossip/shittalking called Hollywood Babble-on. If you never heard him badmouth anyone Im presuming you just have seen the “Evening with” movies and never listened to his podcasts.

                Listened to the podcast for a while. I don’t remember him doing anything more than gentle ribbing or occasionally making a minor comlaint about a person. He complains about events all the time, but AFAICT he goes out of his way to not ever say negative things about the people he’s worked with. The closest I can really remember is him describing Jason Mewes as a sock puppet.

      Bruce Willis has dementia and is no longer making movies. He did a ton of awful cash grabs after the diagnosis and before it got too bad because he knew he’d never be able to work again. Dementia is up there with cancer, when it comes to fucking awful illnesses.

      Yea i would. It would be more of a nostalgia thing. Plus, you don’t have to be some savant actress/actor to be entertaining.
