Son of the Mask: According to The Hollywood Reporter, Traylor Howard, who last appeared on the big screen in the comedy Me, Myself & Irene has landed the female lead role opposite Jamie Kennedy in the New Line Cinema comedy Son of the Mask.

Howard will play Kennedy's wife in the film, which carries on with the premise of a character-altering mask that was established in the 1994 hit starring Jim Carrey. This time around, it follows an aspiring cartoonist (Kennedy) who is not ready for fatherhood but finds himself raising a baby endowed with the powers of the mask of Loki.

Scheduled for a summer production start, "Mask" is being directed by Larry Guterman from a script by Lance Khazei, Rob McKittrick and the team of Tom Gammill and Max Pross.
