Celebrity Update Jim Carrey has signed on to play the lead in Mr. Popper’s Penguins according to Deadline.

Mark Waters is directing the film from a script by Jared Stern, who is rewriting the original screenplay from Sean Anders and John Morris.

The film is based off the 1938 book by Richard Atwater and Florence Atwater, which revolves around a humble house painter who receives a penguin in the mail from Admiral Drake’s voyage to Antarctica. When the one penguin turns into 12, Popper decides to turn his penguins into performers so he can continue to feed and house them.
