The two previous films in the comedy franchise, 1994's "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" and the following year's "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls," grossed more than $180 million and helped establish Jim Carrey as one of the highest-paid comedy actors in Hollywood, said the Hollywood reporter Tuesday.
The new installment is expected to center on the eccentric detective's son, who steps into his father's shoes to take over the family business.
An actor has not yet been chosen to fill the pet detective's Hawaiian shirts and 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in the third installment.
