Jim Carrey And Ewan McGregor Kissing

It's the first photo from Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor's upcoming movie I Love You Phillip Morris, based on the autobiography of the same name about a man (Carrey) who goes to jail and falls in love with his cellmate (McGregor) and tries to escape after he's released:

/Film says it's been described as Catch Me If You Can meets Brokeback Mountain, but probably in a way where every movie with a gay character is described in terms of Brokeback. We can say what we want, but I think everyone in America (and Candada!) wants Mr. Carrey to succeed, and we seem to like it when he does new stuff, so let's give this movie a chance, guys! It really doesn't seem like another Liar, Liar. At all.

I'm torn about this. On the one hand, it's Ewan McGregor, who can do no wrong. And on the other, it's Jim Carrey, who can do no right. Tricky. Very tricky.

stella, are you suggesting that jim carrey, no matter what the circumstance, can't do anything right?

like in that one movie, where even in the most absurd of situations, he had to tell the truth?

or in that other movie, where even if it lead to ill-conceived comic hijinks, he had to say yes?

goddammit jim, this better be awesome. you were lloyd christmas, and now look at you. you'd have to really try hard to fuck up a movie that has ewan mcgregor in it; let's try and keep it together.
