Jim Carrey in Butter??

[jimliker]

British sketch comedian and lauded short film director Jim Field Smith has just seen his debut feature She’s Out of My League open to a respectable $9 million or so. Meanwhile, he’s already at work on his follow up, the Black List approved Butter.

It might be a spoiler - though also, very possibly not - to reveal that Butter is structured as some kind of parallel to the 2008 Iowa Democratic Caucus that saw Hilary Clinton in competition with Barack Obama. For a good while now, Jennifer Garner has been signed on to play the Hilary role; today, news has started to break about who will be playing the Bill Clinton and, I suppose, Monica Lewinsky roles (obviously, this allegory plays fast and loose with strict chronology).

Rumoured for a turn as the Bill analogue is Jim Carrey with Kate Hudson in the frame for the role of his mistress. How flattering.

I'm thrilled he has a new project, but don't know what to think of it yet.

I'm sure Jim would make a great Bill Clinton! The only way it makes it any better if Jim says the former prez's most famous line, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman!"

[chips and dip]

I'm completely with grinchy steve on this one.

Ok, so far the Butter-project.

I'm still hoping for 'Pierre, Pierre', 'Damn Yankees' and 'Ogunn'.

Good, because it doesn't sound too good.

not sure about him in butter but i'd like to see him covered in whipped cream..

[YesGirl]

The good thing is that he tweeted a while ago and said it was a internet rumor and it's not true.

[mysticwryter]

Yeah, it doesn't sound all appealing. There's plenty of fish out in the sea!!

[Conor]

Yeah that sounds pretty bad, good thing he could find better work than this!

[fluffy]

he said on Twitter a few weeks ago that he was never gonna be in it......he read the script and rejected it immediately.......
