‘The Mask’ Is Going ‘Ghostbusters’

Old movies are finding their way back to theaters in the form of reboots and new faces. Fans of the Dark Horse comic The Mask can get excited because series creator and Dark Horse Comics founder Mike Richardson teased the return of the wacky hero to the big screen. But there’s one big difference that Richardson wants: the hero must be played by a female actor.

The Mask, released in 1994, stars Jim Carrey as boring bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss. After discovering an old Norse mask based on the god Loki, Ipkiss transforms from a bland guy into a suave, charismatic hero who catches the eye of lounge singer Tina, played by Cameron Diaz.

Although “The Mask” is one of Carrey’s iconic films, Richardson revealed he already has a particular actress in mind to star in the reboot. “I’d like to see a really good physical comedian [in the role],” Richardson told Forbes. “I have one in mind, but I’m not gonna say her name.”

Richardson also wants the future film to deal with the heavy power that comes with wearing the mask. He believes future films should address the wearer’s mental stability and talk about what it truly means to wield power.

Fans are all for a female-led reboot, so hopefully, the project does come to fruition in the future.
