Guess who’s starring in Tim Burton’s next?

Dean Cain won’t be happy. Jim Carrey is set to star in the ‘Ripley’s Believe it or Not’ movie. Well, it’s based on the chap that created the show anyway – Robert Ripley, the explorer and newspaper columnist, that the film will backstory.

Another coup for the film? Tim Burton will be directing. Now that seems to be a better match than socks and shoes.

According to Variety, it was Burton who suggested Carrey play the lead role in the movie, which will tell of Ripley’s attained celebrity status through the ‘Believe it or Not’ column, and the man’s ongoing hunts for the odd and wild.
