Does everyone still remember Jim Carrey’s iconic comedy, The Mask? It’s been a hot minute – like, 30 years – but it looks like a legit sequel might finally be on the cards! Recently, Jim Carrey mentioned that he’d totally be down to return, as long as the concept is fire. And guess what? Cameron Diaz, the co-star who dazzled alongside him, also spilled the tea. She said she’s all in, but only if Jim is. Could this dynamic duo be making a comeback? Fingers crossed!
Cameron Diaz herself has said, “I’ve always been riding Jim’s coattails,” highlighting just how crucial “The Mask” was to her career. Indeed, the film’s impact on her debut was profound. With a modest budget of just $23 million, it raked in a whopping $350 million worldwide, absolutely staggering figures that still mark it as a phenomenal piece of cinema to this day.
Released in 1994, “The Mask” spins the tale of Stanley Ipkiss (played by Jim Carrey), an unremarkable bank employee whose life flips upside down when he stumbles upon a mask belonging to the trickster god Loki, morphing him into the green-faced phenomenon, ‘The Mask’. Carrey’s comedic genius isn’t the only praise-worthy element here— the film’s offbeat setting, visual spectacles, and whimsical plots have also cemented its status as a cult classic.
Although a sequel to “The Mask” is still up in the air with no concrete details, you can relive the original flick on Netflix. Plus, Cameron Diaz’s latest gig, “Back in Action,” has already dropped on the same platform.
