Ace Ventura 3 Expanded Synopsis Revealed

Ace is back! Josh Flitter (License to Wed, Nancy Drew) has landed the coveted role of the son of everyone's favorite pet detective in the new Morgan Creek comedy Ace Ventura 3, directed by David Mickey Evans (The Sandlot).

About the Story

Allrighty-then. After his African adventure in Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, Ace returned to Florida, married girlfriend Melissa and became the doting father of a baby boy. Never one to sit still, Ace's curious nature took him on another remote case. The goofball gumshoe was never to be seen or heard from again.

Single mom Melissa couldn't fully put the past behind her. Now a zookeeper, she and Ace Jr. (Flitter) have made a life carrying on without her husband. Much to Melissa's chagrin, however, 12-year-old Ace Jr. has begun to follow in his father's comic footsteps. He has recently become a pet detective for the 7th grade set, often trying to recover classmates' missing pets, and always with big mishaps.

But when a master animal thief abducts a baby panda and his mom is wrongly arrested of the crime, Ace Jr. must jump into action. Now, with the help of pals Laura and tech wizard A-Plus, young Ace must bring the thief to justice and do his inane and lovable dad's memory justice.

Ace Ventura 3, will be directed by David Mickey Evans and is scheduled to begin principal photography on September 17, 2007 in Orlando, Florida. Josh Flitter will star in the title role as Ace Ventura Jr. The screenplay was written by Jason Heimberg, Justin Heimberg and Jeff Sank.

Ace Ventura Jr: Pet Detective was released in 2009 and stars Josh Flitter, Emma Lockhart, Austin Rogers, Chris Adler, Robie Alan, Reed Alexander, Christian Andreas, Karl Anthony. The film is directed by David M. Evans.

    This is gonna suck it's just another kids saving the movie, movie.. Jim Carey pulling the lines and stunts will be funny but seeing a 12 yr old will just look odd. Who knows, but I'm leaning more on the sh*t side

    Hmmm... Let's see Ace Ventura 1 (good)... sequel Ace Ventura 2 (fairly good). So Carrey sequels are good if he's in them.

    What about if sequels are made without his original character???

    Son of the Mask - SUCKED
    Dumb and Dumber - SUCKED
    Evan Almighty - SUCKED

    That sells it for me. This one's gonna suck!

    So lemme get this straight. They're taking Ace Ventura and turning it into a children's movie. F*cking *ssholes.... I hope a hurricane hits while just as they finish production and the film is never released.

    Flitter is funny! We saw him in The Great Game and Nancy Drew. He had the best one liners!!! He had the whole audience rolling in laughter! We need movies that are good for kids.

    Yet another gleaming example of Hollywood stupidity. I can hear the chatter in the board room now...

    "Hey, what franchise can we ruin today with an unnessasary sequel?"

    "How about Ace Ventura?"

    "I love it! Quick, somebody get the trained chimp to scribble out a script in crayon."

    yea... i would have definitely preferred jim carrey in a more proper sequel, not some child actor

    the plot already seems bland

    Straight-to-DVD. This will ruin the Ace Venture legacy held by Jim Carrey for sure.
