Comedy superstar Jim Carrey will return to his funny roots as a jailed
homosexual bent on breaking out in "I Love You Phillip Morris," possibly
produced by French director Luc Besson, Variety reported Monday.
Inspired by a true story, the film deals with his character's attempts to
rejoin his former cell mate and lover outside the prison and is presented
as Steven Spielberg's "Catch Me If You Can" meets "Brokeback Mountain."
The 45-year-old Canada-born actor broke the mega-fame barrier in 1996
when his rubber-faced "The Mask" character turned him into the first
Hollywood star to pass the 20-million-dollars-per-movie barrier.
His latest movie "The Number 23," however, grossed a meager 35 million
dollars at the North American box office, a far cry from the 240 million
his top earner "Bruce Almighty" made in 2003.
