Who could play Gay Prison Lovers? Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor of course - I Love You Philip Morris

I can honestly say I had heard nothing about this movie until reading about it over on Filmstalker. I can also honestly say that I never in a million years would have put Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey together in that kind of true life story. Live and learn I guess.

The film is based on a novel by Steve McVicker - Here is Filmstalker's synopsis:
Jim Carrey is a father, husband and all round good guy, except he's a conman, and after a bad fall he's also gay. Then, to compound the matter, he gets caught for fraud and put in prison where he meets an awfully nice man Ewan McGregor whom he falls in love with.

After he gets transferred his lover gets released and so Morris decides to escape and head after him, something he managed four times in all using some amazing ruses. He faked suffering from AIDS for one, and in two other attempts broke out of prison and walked right into CEO roles earning huge salaries.

I Love You Phillip Morris is being directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa.

Here is the trailer.
