The 1990s saw the rise of the most spoken-about works of fantasy-comedy genres. A star performer in this realm was Jim Carrey, who made his breakthrough with his expertise in stand-up comedy blended with cinematic precision. It was also the decade when Jennifer Aniston’s Friends aired with a humorous interlude. A collaboration that was much ahead of its time starred the two pinnacles for Bruce Almighty, the 2003 flick. The movie aced for its whimsical interjections and jovial reprieve. 

The dynamic duo’s pairing garnered credible followers who looked forward to future projects. Although no such thing happened, the screenwriters of the 2003 movie revealed how they had once planned for a sequel.

Bruce Almighty writers planned for a sequel starring Jim Carrey and Jennifer Aniston

Having etched their names in the comical sphere for their splendid performance, Jennifer Aniston and Jim Carrey’s collaboration earned over $500M worldwide. Although there was no revival of the pair, the writers, Steve Koren and Mark O’Keefe, confessed to Syfy Wire about having pitched an idea for the sequel. The movie that never came to maturity did have a name titled Brucifer.

In the supposed continuance, Jennifer Aniston was pictured to portray a zombie. On the other hand, Jim Carrey was supposed to don the Satanic incarnation. The writers also told how “a lot of people loved it, including Jim.” The flick was supposed to phase out the darker side of Bruce following Grace’s death. However, the movie never saw the light of the day.

Even though the dream team jumping for future projects did not work out, Jim Carrey once revealed how they both complemented each other through their differences.

Jim Carrey confessed how Jennifer Aniston and he were a “wonderful kind of mix”

Crafting the most notable paths of chuckle moments, the pairing of Jennifer Aniston and Jim Carrey was undeniably destined. Much like Carrey, Aniston too led her acting journey with comedy. Although there were no future endeavors for the duo, the Mask star once revealed how they were a “wonderful kind of mix.” In a 2003 press conference with Wilson Morales, Carry had once put out how variedly different both the stars were.

Carrey said, “She’s the type of person that can sit there and allow things to come to her. I seek them out and destroy them.” Jim Carrey appreciated their polarity because that made them approach their “craft” differently. For him, that was a complete team. And not only for him but for all the followers, since they had been all ears for the pair to relive the dream.
