Melbourne, July 15 : Child actor Josh Flitter has been roped in to star in David Mickey Evans' third Ace Ventura flick sans Jim Carrey.
Evans said that since his kids run his career, he decided to go for a third part on their orders.
He added that he wanted to meet the challenge of making a sequel for one of the funniest move in the last 30 years.
"Well, basically my kids run my career. After the Final Season got picked up by Sony/Yari for theatrical release, I had a bunch of offers and scripts on my desk. I asked my 9, 11, and 15 year olds what they wanted me to do. And they said, 'Dad, you're doing Ace Ventura 3!. I don't know if the fact that the film shoots in Orlando (Disney World, Universal Orlando) had anything to with their marching orders, but I suspect it did," Moviehole quoted him, as saying.
"Nonetheless, the challenge of trying to meet the expectation of a sequel to one of the funniest movies in the last 30 years appealed to me. Done deal. Cut. Print. Moving on! Done deal," he said. The filmmaker added that he didn't want to miss a chance to work with Jim Robinson and David Robinson at Morgan Creek.
"I really wanted to work with Jim Robinson and David Robinson at Morgan Creek. The opportunity to cross paths with their brand of creative support is rare and I wasn't about to pass that up," he added.
The film is about the boy taking over the family business form his dad.
