Dumb and Dumber 2 may still be on track with its two original stars, Digital Spy said.

The planned sequel looked to be axed when Jim Carrey dropped out due to conflicts with New Line and Warner Bros.

However, co-star Jeff Daniels has now reportedly stated that Carrey is still interested in the project, providing that the script is good enough.

"We almost were able to kinda get it done this year, but they're still working on the script," Daniels told WENN.

"Jim wants to do it, I want to do it, the Farrellys want to do it. We're all hoping that it'll come together early next year."

The Newsroom actor Daniels previously said that the comedy sequel will not happen if Carrey is not on board.

The original script for Dumb and Dumber 2 was to be set 18 years after the original and would have centered on how life had changed for Harry and Lloyd.
