It looks like Stanley Ipkiss is sort of returning to the big screen. Mike Richardson, the creator of The Mask, has just confirmed plans to remake the beloved Jim Carrey classic but with an awesome twist. This time, a female comedian could end up donning the mask.
Richardson recently spoke to Forbes about his plans, confirming that he already has someone in mind to lead the reboot.
But don't expect someone like Melissa McCarthy or Ali Wong to replicate Carrey's iconic performance. According to Richardson, the reboot of The Mask will focus on a completely different character.
Wise words indeed, but when can fans expect to see The Mask all over again on the big screen? Richardson says they are doing things one step at a time.
What do you think of a female-led The Mask reboot? Sound off in the comments below.
