 Josh Flitter

Last Summer we warned you that Morgan Creek was developing a third Ace Ventura: Pet Detective film. And now moviehole has gotten word on Jim Carrey’s replacement. Drumroll please. The new Ace Ventura is…. Josh Flitter! Wait, who? That was my response. Josh has been a side character in a bunch of recent movies. He was Robin William’s young minister helper in License to Wed. He was Nancy Drew’s young friend Corky. He was also in The Greatest Game Ever Played and Big Momma’s House 2. Not a very good track record. You would probably remember him as the short kinda chubby loudmouth kid.

So you’re probably asking yourself “how could this fat kid replace Jim Carrey?” Well, the new movie is tentatively titled Ace Ventura Jr., and will center on the “eccentric detective’s son, who steps into his father’s shoes to take over the family business.” Sounds like a bad idea to me. David Mickey Evans (The Sandlot, The Final Season) is directing. We’ll try to forget this ever happened.

    I bet this will turn out just as great as Son of the Mask. ARGH.

    Arrggg, I didn’t really like the second Ace Ventura so have no idea how they can breathe life into this franchise, then add the fact that Jim Carrey is no where to be found, I’m mortified to say the least.

    Had to check my calendar to make sure it wasn’t April 1st.

    What a HORRIBLE idea. Whoever came up with this idea should be fired.

    First of all… I think this movie has the potential to be great. Yeah, yeah… I know… another sequel… bla bla. However, Ace Ventura which had some classic, adult humor… and if you all recall was for a more mature audience.

    I have a feeling this will be marketed (if they are smart) towards the kids. Parent’s who loved the first two movies will be able to take their kids to the more toned down family humor and enjoy with the kids too. So… same name, concept but apples and oranges to the original.

    Personally, I think Josh was a great character in the other movies he has been in - casting couldn’t have been better. Nice to see a “fresh face” added to the new young stars. Break a leg Mr. Flitter!

    It should be noted/disclosed, that the post above by “I Love Lucy” is actually a friend of Ace Ventura 3 star Josh Flitter. I was able to confirm this by a quick google search of their e-mail address. No wonder they are the only ones excited to see this horrible idea of a movie.

    What ever my motivation to plug the movie, it’s still geared towards children NOT adults. You don’t like the idea? You don’t have kids? No interest in the movie, they couldn’t pay you enough to see it? Fair enough, don’t go.

    I MAY hate the movie myself. Who knows. However, I’ll decide that AFTER I see it. As Uncle Albert says, “The ONLY source of Knowledge is Experience”

    Only a FOOL draws conclusions with no experience.

    Experience is gained by being able to analyze how the past repeats itself, and this type of sequel (different actor/character, change in target audience) has failed 20 to 1.

    There are quite a few successful sequels out there that made more then their first movies… just google it. Ace Ventura being in the top 10 of all time!

    EXPERIENCE shows that Ace Ventura - sequel #2 grossed 50% more at the box office then the first one.

    There’s obviously a fan base and people will come- even though you won’t. If I was to analyze how the past repeats itself… I wouldn’t be SO quick to shoot this down.
