While he’s apparently still in negotiations, Deadline reports that we’ll probably be seeing Jim Carrey in Burt Wonderstone, starring alongside Steve Carell as a member of the Las Vegas magician community. As it should be. While it’s not entirely clear if Carrey will star as Carell’s erstwhile partner or his new “hip street magician rival,†Carrey’s squirmy, manic energy seems pretty much made for an over-the-top magician role. A Criss Angel who’s in on the joke, if you will.
