Burton and Carrey's RIPLEY is back, BELIEVE IT OR NOT!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Tim Burton and Jim Carrey were supposed to do a flick based on RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT, but for reasons unknown it was shelved. Probably schedule conflicts. Now Paramount has brought in Steve Oedekerk to write the newest draft of the script, effectively breathing new life into the project. Both Burton and Carrey are still attached. I'm a little mixed on this. Harry said the original script was great. Haven't read it myself, but I am totally, 100% not a fan of Oedekerk's THUMB series... THUMBTANIC, THUMB WARS, etc. I found those and KUNG POW to be like nails on a chalkboard for me. However, I thought BRUCE ALMIGHTY was alright and I'm one of the few people that think ACE VENTURE: WHEN NATURE CALLS is just as funny as the first one. "Your balls are showing..." Oedekerk (Not the Mr. Show guy) scripted those as well. So, he can work well with Carrey... I'm just happy the movie's still going forward. Could be a helluva fun flick. What do you folks think?
