Jim Carrey is in early talks to team with Ben Stiller and play obsolete pleasure clones in "Used Guys," a comedy to be directed by Jay Roach ("Meet the Parents", "Austin Powers") for 20th Century Fox reports Variety.
Scripted by David Guion and Michael Handelman from an original script by Mickey Birnbaum, the futuristic "Used Guys" is set in a world where women run the Earth. Men became extinct because they ingested an enhancement drink that proved fatal.
Carrey and Stiller will play clones rendered obsolete by superior models whose enhancements include better listening and lovemaking skills. The scorned clones make a run for it, bent on regaining their dignity by searching for a male nirvana known as Mantopia.
Stiller and Roach have been plotting this picture for several years. The emergence of Carrey as Stiller's co-star has propelled the film toward a Spring start of production target.
