Thanks to TrailersLand (via Coming Soon) we have an international French trailer for Jim Carrey’s upcoming feature with Ewan McGregor I Love You Phillip Morris based on a book by Houston Chronicle crime reporter Steve McVicker in which Carrey will play Steven Russell, a married father whose conman ways introduced him to the Texas prison system. There, he falls in love with cellmate Phillip Morris (McGregor). His love for Morris motivates his escape from prisons four times, once by using a green pen and bucket of water to change his prison outfit into what appeared to be surgical scrubs, another time by faking his death from AIDS and signing his own death certificate. Morris eventually got out, but Russell’s escapades got him a 144-year sentence.
As I watched the trailer below I got bored out of my mind. I stopped it just as he met Phillip Morris at two minutes and 20 seconds in and had no interest in returning. If you can make it the full three minutes and 21 seconds give yourself a pat on the back and tell me what you think in the comments. I will wait for a 30 second TV spot on this one to see if I am interested. Only I can see that has me even remotely interested is that my girl Jessica Heap is in it (no, she’s not really my girl).
