Bruce Almighty Zombie Sequel?

Jim Carrey‘s Bruce Almighty character almost went to hell and back in a sequel that never came to fruition.

The screenwriters who came up with the story for the 2003 comedy, Steve Koren and Mark O’Keefe, revealed to Syfy their idea for a followup movie that they pitched in 2010 and “a lot of people loved.” Sadly, it “just didn’t work out for some reason,” according to Koren.

Bruce Almighty was about TV news reporter Bruce (Carrey) who questions God after not landing an anchor position — only to have God (Morgan Freeman) let Bruce take on his powers to see if he can handle the responsibilities better. Jennifer Aniston costarred as his girlfriend Grace, and the cast also included Steve Carell, Lisa Ann Walter and Philip Baker Hall.

(Director Tom Shadyac returned for the Carell-led Evan Almighty, which wasn’t as big of a hit when it released in theaters in 2007.)

The proposed sequel, titled Brucifer, would have seen now-wife Grace die, leading Bruce to align with Satan for the power to bring her back from the dead. O’Keefe said Lucifer would have likely been played by Freeman or Carrey.
