The highly-anticipated Dumb and Dumber sequel just hit a major snag: Jim Carrey is no longer involved with the project, Gossip Cop confirms.

Carrey, who starred in the 1994 comedy classic with Jeff Daniels, was dismayed by the lack of studio interest in a follow-up, prompting him to back out.

As Gossip Cop previously reported, co-director Peter Farrelly confirmed in April that he and the movie’s stars were looking to shoot the new installment in the fall.

Now it seems the film may be in jeopardy.

“I would have thought Dumb and Dumber To was a no-brainer, after all it’s implied in the title,” Carrey says in a statement furnished to Gossip Cop by his publicist.

Carrey’s departure was first reported by ETOnline.

What do you think of Carrey leaving the movie?
