I Love You Phillip Morris
From the Let's-Make-Another-Comedy-About-The-Gay's department, Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor are to star in the Texas-base true love story about a con-man and his lover. That's hilarious! Based on the novel, I Love You Phillip Morris by Steve Mcvicker, Carrey plays time-serving Steven Russell who cons his way out of jail to be with lover Phill Morris, played by McGregor.
Or as Rotten Tomatoes puts it, "Hot prison love!" Yes, its a race to the "bottom" for Smokeback Mountain jokes already.
The book itself is an over-the-top biography that weaves a sincere tale of love, valour, and yes, compassion. Whether or not this film turns into the next Brokeback Mountain to be snubbed at the Oscars or just another I Now Pronounce Chuck and Larry with law-breaking high-jinx remains to be seen.
McGregor Plays Carrey’s Love Interest:Jim Carrey plays a conman in prison who falls in love with another cellmate, Ewan McGregor. His character breaks out of prison four times to be with his lover, McGregor.
From what I understand, it is a dark comedy based on a fact-based story from a book called Houston Chronicle by crime reporter Steve McVicker.
