After years of rumors, a sequel to the 2000 film How the Grinch Stole Christmas is officially in development from Universal and Imagine Entertainment.
Jim Carrey, who starred in the first movie as the Grinch, is expected to return for the sequel. Ron Howard is also expected to direct again, with Brian Grazer, the co-founder of Imagine Entertainment alongside Howard, expected to produce. Susan Brandt, the CEO of Dr. Seuss Enterprises, will be overseeing the project.
“Talks are ongoing and things could fall apart,” Variety reported. However, if the film continues moving forward, Alec Berg will be the scriptwriter.
Although in 2022 Carrey said he was retiring from acting, he cleared up those comments in 2024 during an interview with ComicBook.
“You can’t be definite about these things. I said I’d like to retire but I think I was talking more about power resting,” Carrey said. “Because as soon as a good idea comes your way, or a group of people you really enjoy working with, things tend to change.”
That same year, ComicBook asked Carrey which character from his repertoire he would like to play again. He said he would love to play the Grinch.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas earned $345 million worldwide and took home an Oscar for best makeup. Carrey admitted to Vulture last year that he nearly quit on the first day of production due to the difficult eight-hour makeup process, but he endured it thanks to the help of a man who trained CIA agents to withstand torture. This is one aspect Carrey said he would want changed.
“The thing about it is, on the day, I do that with a ton of makeup and can hardly breathe,” Carrey recalled in an interview with ComicBook. “It was an extremely excruciating process. The children were in my mind all the time. ‘It’s for the kids. It’s for the kids. It’s for the kids.’ And now, with motion capture and things like that, I could be free to do other things. Anything is possible in this world.”
