please God let this be true.

the other half of the research department (good eye(s) cary) just saw something fucking fantastic on imdb.
spike jonze is in talks to direct the Ripley's Believe it or Not movie.
jim carrey and spike together = the new hotness.

Michel Gondry was briefly attached to direct after Tim Burton left.
