[YesGirl]

I second that!

Variety reports that he has signed the contract now!

It will be directed by Mark Waters.

That's Great!
I know you are happy about Mr. Poppers Penguins.
Congratulations.

lol.......it explains Jims 'penguin love' tweets........ and he loves animals/birds so he should have a blast making it!........

[chips and dip]

YES!

I'm glad he signed something. But why this project? I don't believe in Mark Waters. As I said before, 'Freaky Friday' was ok and 'Spiderwick Chronicles' was very enjoyable, but 'Just Like Heaven', 'Mean Girls' and 'Ghosts of Girlfriends Past' were terrible, real comedy-killers.

I guess this famous book will have a lot of fans going "Jim Carrey is not our Mr. Poppers" ... I'm just dissapointed that so many of the very interesting projects didn't make it and now he's going for this safe family-movie. With the animals involved this is a risky thing, will they be real, will they be CGI, will it be "realistic" to see Carrey next to those creatures ... and is this even a interesting role?

I know, I sound negative about this. But I simply don't believe in this choice of movie. Maybe it will be a nice suprise, still possible.

I was afraid for 'The Number 23' for some reasons like this (choice of director) and although it was just 'ok', I was right about it.

i hope they have some real ones.........they're such adorable little waddlers........everyone loves real penguins!!! and animated ones are old hat since Happy feet..........

Hi Guys!.....I agree with Fluffy..... look how cute REAL penguins are here!
CONGRATULATIONS Jim! :*

[fluffy]

awe that's lovely.......
i'm not sure about this vid though........part of me thinks it's adorable and part of me thinks it's kinda wrong and humiliating for the bird....
what do you lot think???

I hope this movie gets good reviews or all the critics will be saying "Mr Poppers pooped"

You know...I've been thinking...he'll probably get (more) epic/academyawardsworthy roles a bit later...at Jack's age still find it extremely interesting when it comes to Jim's choices upon scripts, movie roles and all...Through this roles he made it really clear that he is willing to find out EVERYTHING about acting...aka become the best actor. "Someday soon, I just know it ...!"



Looking forward to seeing this one as well. Sounds like real fun...But right now I'm waiting for the ILYPM buzz...



peaceout

I agree with Grinchy Steve on this one. I'm not sure about this one.
I mean, I'm still going to watch it because I love penguins and Jim....but I'm not sure if I'll like it or not.
But who knows....Jim is an amazing actor!

[fluffy]

Amazing...............

I can't wait!

I just heard that Carla Gugino is joining the cast! I'm starting to feel good about this movie now.
