Fox is taking another slam at its set off filmUsed guy cable , which would have starredJim CarreyandBen Stilleras two outdated pleasure clone . But only Stiller is back for the more “ romantic ” redo .
Used Guys was originally on track for a 2007 waiver , but20th Century Foxscrapped the plastic film in May 2006 , mostly because the motion-picture show ’s budget had spiraled out of ascendency , topping $ 100 million in combined histrion ’ salaries , effects shots , and the cost of the futuristic sets . ( This is the same Fox that felt Street Fighter : The Legend of Chun - Li and Dragonball Evolution were good uses of its money , but I stray . )
The film ’s premise center on Carrey and Stiller ’s character , two retiring - their - prime delight clones in a world hold by women , who seek out the masculine paradise known only as Mantopia . Jay Roach , director of the Austin Powers and see the Parents flick , had in the beginning signed on to lead .
In its new embodiment , Used Guys will be more of a romantic clowning that focuses on Stiller , who is currently in talks to return the project . Reese Witherspoonhas reportedly been asked to play Stiller ’s passion interestingness . lilliputian Miss Sunshine directorsValentine FarisandJonathan Daytonare the conduct candidates to direct the motion picture .
I ’ve get to include , I ’m a piffling doubtful about either version of this film . If a picture show is going to feature something shout “ Mantopia ” and still be even halfway decent , I ’d have to think you need more of a satirical edge than what you ’d expect from the guys behind Meet the Fockers . As for the romanticistic funniness version that might actually happen , I ca n’t get off from the fact that the only recent Ben Stiller movies that have been remotely watchable ( be they Tropic Thunder or … do I seriously have to achieve back to Dodgeball for another watchable Ben Stiller movie ? ) have been emphatically non - quixotic in nature . And , as always , we ’re talk about Fox here , who are n’t known asthe greatestarbitersof character .

Still , hope spring eternal , and there ’s something so marvellously , horribly appropriate about a movie industry dominated by subsequence and remakes accept a second try at making a picture show about clones . With a formula like that , Used Guys will probably make a hundred billion dollars .
