LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Jim Carrey is to star in a movie about a man who decides to answer "yes" to every question he is asked, entertainment industry press reported yesterday.
The veteran Canadian funnyman will play the lead role in "Yes Man", a film adaptation of British writer Danny Wallace's 2005 book of the same name.
In Wallace's book he describes how he spent six months "saying 'yes' where once would have said 'no,' as an experiment.
The book chronicles Wallace's trials and tribulations as he put his policy into practice.
Carrey, whose films include "Ace Ventura Pet Detective," "The Mask" and "Bruce Almighty", will begin work on the film next year.
