Brucifer: The Satanic Sequel That Could Have Been

The world-renowned comedic genius, Jim Carrey, stepping into the role of Satan himself. This was the bold concept behind 'Brucifer', the proposed sequel to the 2003 blockbuster 'Bruce Almighty', which unfortunately never saw the light of day. 'Bruce Almighty' was a global phenomenon, grossing an impressive $485 million, making a sequel inevitable. However, Jim Carrey, known for his reluctance to participate in sequels, was only interested in reprising his role for 'Brucifer'. Carrey's character, Bruce, was set to acquire Satan's powers in a shocking twist, following the devastating loss of his girlfriend, Grace. This idea was presented to producer Michael Bostick by the original screenwriters, Steve Koren and Mark O'Keefe, even before the first film's release. 'Brucifer' was intended to be a wild and hilarious sequel, but Universal opted for 'Evan Almighty' instead, leaving fans with a lackluster follow-up. Carrey's decision to return for 'Brucifer' was particularly noteworthy, given his general avoidance of sequels. His excitement for this unique and captivating idea suggests that 'Brucifer' could have been a game-changer. It's unfortunate that 'Brucifer' was presented to Universal after 'Evan Almighty' had already flopped, leaving us to wonder about the potential success of 'Brucifer'. 'Brucifer'. Brucifer'.
