1. Dumb and Dumber was Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly‘s initial movie—and it was a true labor of enjoy. Many years beforehand, Peter and his close friend and recurrent creating partner Bennett Yellin wrote a screenplay about two not-pretty-bright funeral property staff, which was eventually bought by Eddie Murphy‘s creation business. Sad to say, there it languished.
Joined by Bobby, the trio wrote Dragnet 2, a sequel for the 1987 comedy with Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd, “our very best script,” Peter told an audience at Loyola Marymount’s University of Film and Tv in 2014. Having said that, that did not get created, possibly.
Back at the drawing board, the Farrellys and Yellin came up with a different tale, this a person about dim-witted buddies Harry and Lloyd, who established off for Aspen to return a dropped briefcase to its rich owner. They named it Go West, then A Electrical power Resource Is Not a Toy. “We altered the titles due to the fact we couldn’t get brokers to provide a script called Dumb and Dumber to their customers,” Peter said.
