Jim Carrey ready for Ripley's Believe It or Not
Oscar-winning scribe Eric Roth has signed on to do a full rewrite. Tim Burton was previously set to direct the film, but has since moved on.
The film is about Robert Ripley's search around the world for the most unusual people and places that he immortalized in his newspaper column. The locales were exotic and the sights were unbelievable, but the film is about Robert Ripley's journey to appreciate that the unusual people were more than just conquests to be cataloged.
No production date has been set.
Ripley's Believe It or Not is in development .

If it revives the series...then why not. Jim Carrey can strike comic gold with this.

After having re-watched the Truman Show last week, I'm craving Carrey in a grounded role like this. Hope it happens.
