The live-action How the Grinch Stole Christmas adaption from 2000 starring James Eugene Carrey has been announced to have a sequel in the works.

It's being developed by Universal Studios and Imagine Entertainment, with Ronald William Howard returning to direct (and produce), and Jim Carey to reprise his role as The Grinch.

Brian Thomas Grazer (who cofounded Imagine Entertainment with Ron Howard) is also producing, and the script is being written by Alec Berg, Jeff Schaffer and David Mandel, who all worked on the live-action The Cat in the Hat adaption from 2003.

Um... What? I thought the rights to future Seuss adaptations are handled by WB now and not Universal.

I guess future versions of their past adaptions are exempt from this.

Pretty funny that 2 Grinch sequel projects were announced on the same day (it's a good marketing tactic if intentional, and a well timed coincedence if it wasn't).
