Jim Carrey is eyeing a role in a film called Me Time for 20th Century Fox. Word is that he doesn’t want to sign on until he has seen a script rewrite from writing duo Ian Roberts and Jay Martel.
The story revolves around a writer penning a book about his great-great-grandmother, a frontier woman. When his pregnant wife has to go on bed rest, leaving him to care for the house and their other child, his confidence is shaken as he reads his ancestor’s diary, in which she describes raising a family, plowing the fields and taming the wild environs.
Carrey’s The Number 23 turned out to be a pile of poo and he will next be heard in the animated Dr. Suess feature Horton Hears a Who followed by Ripley’s Believe It or Not with director Tim Burton in 2009.
