Jim Carrey and director Tim Burton are teaming up for Paramount Pictures's action-adventure
Believe It or Not, says Variety.
The feature is based on the exploits of Robert Ripley, the explorer and newspaper columnist who created 'Ripley's Believe It or Not'.
The story picks up Ripley at a time when he has attained celebrity status through a 'Believe It or Not' column that chronicled his search for the greatest oddities on the planet. Along the way, he learns to appreciate his unusual human discoveries as more than mere conquests to be catalogued.
The project is slated to begin production in London in October for a late 2007 release.
