The last time we saw the character, played by Jim Carrey, was in the 1995 film Ace Venture: When Nature Calls. The first film, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, was a huge success in 1994, earning more than $107 million.
Justin Heimberg, his brother Jason Heimberg, and Jeff Sank are all three confirmed to be writing the script. In this film, however, Jim Carrey will not be playing the lead. In the new project, the story will revolve around the son of Ace Ventura, who has taken over the family business.
