Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal Pictures and Spyglass are in talks to mount a Bruce Almighty sequel based on the Bobby Florsheim/Josh Stolberg script "The Passion of the Ark," reports Variety.
Talks are just getting under way, but the plan is to court Jim Carrey to reprise and to have Tom Shadyac return as director. Carrey is said to have left the door open for another installment after the first proved to be the biggest-grossing hit of his career.
Screenwriter Steve Oedekerk will be enlisted to refit "Ark" into a sequel. The "Ark" script could work with another actor, who'd play a widowed writer who's chosen by God to prepare for the second great flood.
Universal is expected to run the production and will likely distribute domestically.
Interesting, they better get the "..all the powers of God" thing right this time. Jesus walked on water, not God, like Bruce did in the movie. Kinda nitpicky, I know, but still.
making a sequel to a movie that needs no sequel at all is a bad move. sometimes it can turn out okay, sometimes great, even. But it's still a risky move all the time
yeah.......i agree!
i think that if they do another BM............meh....nah..........i don't think they should!!!
but jim's gonna b in it so it might be alright.........
Problem is with sequels like these, the actors aren't really motivated or into doing them...the charm/excitement is gone if the original was a essentially a one-trick pony (which it was), and you can usually tell they've showed up just for the $$
It's like making a sequel to Adam Sandlers "Click"...what's the point?
And if a couple prior Carrey sequels are any indication (Dumb and Dumberer, Son of the Mask), this one's gonna suck. It might be as funny as Ace II (which was so-so at best) if Carrey's actually in it...and that's 'cause Carrey will actually be in it.

I am a little hesitant to think that this sequel will be as good as the first, but we'll see. I am sure I will go and see it just to see how it turned out.
