Whether or not it gets made, a lot will depend 
not so much on the star as it will on the writer
and director.  Jim Carrey can be a very good 
actor if he is directed well.  He is like the
little girl with the curl ... when he is good, 
he is very, very good, but when he is bad, he is
horrid.

Well, they did try to make an Inspector Clouseau
film without Peter Sellers not long after the
Pink Panther and it flopped royally, because 
only Peter Sellers really could make the 
Inspector funny.  It was called "Inspector
Clouseau" and starred Alan Arkin.  There
was a 1993 "Son of ..." version with Roberto
Benigni, which also flopped.  The current one
is set to star Steve Martin.  I just can't see
him doing Peter Sellars, and his own persona
just won't work.

However, sometimes a remake can be as funny as
the original or even funnier.  I am thinking of
the Nutty Professor movies made by Eddie Murphy. 
Both of these movies are, to my taste, much
funnier than anything that Jerry Lewis made. 
Eddie Murphy is a genius with characterization
and a master of imitation.  He would be excellent
in a remake of Kind Hearts and Coronets, as he
has already proven that he can play all members
of a family.  The dining room scene where he
plays all of the Klumps, except the little boy is
hysterical.  Robin Williams only knows how to 
play Robin Williams.

It probably already has been done.  I remember
seeing a parody of the Mona Lisa years ago and
I had to look and look to see where the parody
was.  When I looked at her cleavage, she had
three breasts.

I couldn't find it on the internet, but I did
find these, along with several nude Mona's and
a couple of pregnant ones also.
