Still no originality on the horizon of film production in Hollywood of late, with a third Bruce Almighty sequel set to rekindle the studio-exec’s success with the original, despite the second in the franchise, starring Steve Carell, being as dubiously malnourished as Pascal’s wager.

Jim Carrey is back on board, having slid comfortably into the ranks of actors who walk the line between A and B list celebrity, it would appear that nonchalant rubber baffoonery has a thicker spine of longevity than creatively ambitious ventures. Which is fine, as long as he can balance the book-sheets with something worthy of his talent later on down the line. Though this is no small task in the current creative cess-pool of Hollywood, I do have a froth of faith in Jim. It is just a shame that Carrey’s best film production work cannot begin to financially infringe upon the forgettable comedies which he so clearly yearns to transcend.

Though the people who worship them might, numbers never lie, and Bruce Almighty has made over $485m (£313m) at the box office. This makes it Carrey's highest grossing film ever, after 2000's How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Carrey's last film, Mr Popper's Penguins, made just under $187m. Both ‘Almighty’ films were directed by Carrey's long-time collaborator Tom Shadyac, who worked with the actor on Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) and Liar Liar (1997).
