Yes, USA Today confirmed that although Warner Bros. recently passed on an in-the-works "Dumb and Dumber" sequel - the original film, of course, was a 1994 comedy hit starring Jim Carrey and Chelsea's resident movie star, Jeff Daniels - Universal Studios has acquired the rights to the project.
Daniels even mentioned the sequel on "The Late Show with David Letterman" on Wednesday night, at the tail end of his interview segment (which was otherwise focused on Michigan—the U.P. and Mackinac Island, specifically—and parenting and youth sports).
Though they didn't discuss it at all, the ostensible reason for Daniels' appearance on "Letterman" was the July 14 second season premiere of Aaron Sorkin's "The Newsroom" on HBO, in which Daniels stars as thorny anchorman Will McAvoy. Here's a trailer for season 2.
