Above on the left is the first production still we have from I Love You Phillip Morris, the new con-man-comedy (conedy? no?) starring Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. Based on a book by Houston Chronicle crime reporter Steve McVicker, the fact-based film casts Carrey as Steven Russell, a married father whose exploits landed him in the Texas criminal justice system. He fell madly in love with his cellmate (McGregor as Phillip Morris), who eventually was set free, which led Russell to escape from Texas prisons four times through a series of devious cons.

This one seems kind of…eh.

But between this dramatic and gay Carrey and the upcoming return to slapstick with Yes Man, Jim should find himself on the good side of the box office one of these days.
