Jim Carrey's a Yes Man

Blimey… After a dodgy time at both the box office (The Number 23) and the development slate (Used Guys), Jim Carrey’s slate suddenly seems to be piling on again.

He’s just agreed to work with Harry Potter producer David Heyman on a comedy called Yes Man. And if the name sounds familiar, that’s because it’s based on the book by Blighty’s own Danny Wallace.
