Universal and Imagine Entertainment are developing a sequel to 2000\u2019s <em>How the Grinch Stole Christmas<\/em>, with three key players expected to return.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=2079\">Kate Hudson-Javier Bardem Rom-Com \u2018Hello &amp; Paris\u2019 Adds 6 to Cast at Amazon MGM (Exclusive)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tNo deal is done, but Jim Carrey is in talks to reprise his role as the classic Dr. Seuss character the Grinch, with Ron Howard returning to direct. Howard will produce alongside his Imagine Entertainment partner Brian Grazer.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe untitled sequel will have a script by Alec Berg\u00a0(<em>Barry<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Silicon Valley<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Curb Your Enthusiasm<\/em>),\u00a0Jeff Schaffer\u00a0(<em>Life, Larry and The Pursuit of Unhappiness, Dave<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Curb Your Enthusiasm<\/em>) and\u00a0David Mandel\u00a0(<em>Veep,<\/em>\u00a0<em>Curb Your Enthusiasm<\/em>). The trio also worked on the 2003 Seuss adaptation <em>The Cat in the Hat<\/em> starring Mike Myers. <\/p>\n<p>\n\tReleased just ahead of Thanksgiving in 2000, <em>How The Grinch Stole Christmas<\/em> was the top movie of the year domestically with $260 million and earning a total of $345 worldwide. <\/p>\n<p>\n\tIt also took home the best makeup Oscar for Rick Baker and Gail Rowell-Ryan, who transformed Carrey for the role. The process took around eight hours a day, and Carrey has recalled it being extremely difficult. As he told <em>Vulture<\/em> last year, he wanted to quit on day one of production and return his $20 million fee. He got through it with the help of a man who trained CIA agents to withstand torture, as well as thanks to the makeup eventually being reduced to three hours a day.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=2077\">Fox Creator Studios Beefs Up Roster With Josh Richards, Emilia Hartford and More<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe story of the Grinch dates back to 1957, with Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss) publishing the story inspired by his unhappiness with the commercialism overtaking Christmas. It told the story of the Grinch trying to ruin Christmas for the residents of Whoville by stealing their gifts. CBS made it as a 1966 animated special, with Boris Karloff voicing the narrator and The Grinch. Co-director Chuck Jones opted to make the Grinch green, a departure from the book\u2019s black and white.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe 2000 movie has become a durable hit on streaming, andhas been among Nielsen\u2019s top 10 most streamed holiday movies in each of the last five years. And, last year in the two weeks ahead of and after Christmas (Dec. 15-Dec. 28), it peaked at No. 2 overall on the movies chart with 962 million minutes viewed, just below the perennial No. 1 champ <em>Home Alone<\/em>. Notably, Carrey\u2019s <em>Grinch<\/em> movie also ranked ahead of the 2018 animated movie in those key two weeks on last year\u2019s holiday streaming ratings chart. That Illumination and Universal feature, <em>Dr. Seuss\u2019 The Grinch<\/em>, hit No. 8 in the week ahead of Dec. 25.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAs for the new sequel, CEOSusan Brandt\u00a0will oversee for Dr. Seuss Enterprises.\u00a0Senior vice president of production development and special projects Britt Hennemuth and creative executive Christina Hoffrogge will oversee for Universal.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHoward is represented by CAA and Greenberg Glusker.
