2: Son Of Mask - Lead Cast - 28th March 2004

Despite
the success of the epic LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy,
New Line has been looking to refocus their slate of
films on lower-budgeted genre films that could potentially
turn a much higher profit (the type of films that
made the studio what it is today). As such, they looked
to sequalize two of their earlier hits, both Jim Carrey
comedies. You may know that DUMB & DUMBERER, the
prequel to DUMB & DUMBER hits theaters this summer
and now it looks like they've found their star for
SON OF MASK, a follow-up to Carrey's successful turn
as the antihero Mask. Jamie Kennedy, whose first starring
role in a film, MALIBU'S MOST WANTED, is set for release
this April, is in negotiations to play the lead in
SON OF MASK, that would likely follow not the further
adventures of Carrey's Stanley Ipkiss, but a new,
younger character who happens upon the magical mask.
The project is expected to begin filming this summer
while Kennedy is on hiatus from his WB series "The
Jamie Kennedy Experiment." While Jamie Kennedy
looks to fill the mighty shoes of Carrey, the bigger
question is who can fill in for Cameron Diaz? Umm,
no one.

News
from the set
On
the 31st March the club scene was show. Unfortunately
Jamie Kennedy injured his leg (looked to be shin),
on the steps, and his "double", Alan Cumming,
filled in. Jamie received a standing ovation and "clap
off" for his ability, guts and goodwill. Jamie
was humble and friendly, and was the entire crew.
