“Jim Carrey is reportedly set to return as the Grinch in a sequel to the 2000 film 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas.' The project, being developed by Universal and Imagine Entertainment, will reunite Carrey with director Ron Howard. The script is being written by Alec Berg, Jeff Schaffer, and David Mandel, known for their work on 'The Cat in the Hat' and TV shows like 'Barry' and 'Veep.' Carrey has expressed interest in using motion-capture technology instead of the original makeup and suit, which he described as an 'excruciating process.' The original film was a box office success, grossing $345 million worldwide and becoming a holiday staple. The sequel's title and release date have not yet been announced.”
