( EW.com ) -- Peter and Bobby Farrelly have been quietly developing a sequel to `` Dumb and Dumber '' for awhile now . Back in October , we heard that Sean Anders and John Morris -- the comedy screenwriting duo behind `` Hot Tub Time Machine '' and `` Mr. Popper 's Penguins '' -- were hard at work on a script . That was the last bit of news about the project ... at least until this weekend , when Peter Farrelly dropped a Twitter-imploding bombshell in the middle of a `` Three Stooges '' press junket . `` We 're getting set to shoot Dumb and Dumber 2 in September , '' the director told ComingSoon.net . `` We 've got Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back . '' Farrelly may have jumped the gun a little bit -- a source close to the production tells EW that the film is `` moving along , but it 's not greenlit yet . '' It 's hard to imagine a green light is too far away , though -- following last week 's announcement about the impending arrival of `` Anchorman 2 , '' this feels like the moment for long-awaited comedy sequels . ( Also : Is this a big day for Jeff Daniels , or what ? ) See the full article at EW.com . CLICK HERE to Try 2 RISK FREE issues of Entertainment Weekly . © 2011 Entertainment Weekly and Time Inc.
