The creators of the original film are once again working on the new movie. Ron Howard will take the director's chair, and Brian Grazer will serve as producer. The script is being written by Alec Berg, Jeff Schaffer, and David Mandel. Details of the plot have not yet been revealed. However, in 2023, Dr. Seuss Enterprises released a sequel book titled "How the Grinch Lost Christmas!", but it is unknown whether it will serve as the basis for the new adaptation. A few years ago, Carrey admitted that he was ready to return to the role of the Grinch on one condition — if modern technology would allow for the elimination of the hours-long and extremely exhausting makeup process. It is possible that the new film will use motion capture technology to create the character, preserving the actor's signature facial expressions and movements. The original film, released in 2000, became a global box office hit, grossing over $345 million and turning into one of the most popular Christmas comedies. This is why the news of a sequel has already sparked great interest among fans of the classic film.
