What did he think of Batman Forever and how much did he enjoy playing the Riddler? This is important because Jim is working with Joel Schumacher again on The Number 23.

I recall he was given a very hard time by Tommy Lee Jones who thought he was the big star of the movie......It's alleged he was quite rude to Jim . But this seems to have stemmed from Jim's awesome performance, Tommy realised he was about to be outshone........and he was..........
Jim acted them all off the screen................i think Tommy's reaction acted like a 'red rag to a bull' and Jim was gonna outshine Tommy just to prove a point............
RE Joel............i think Joel had a lot of faith in Jim and gave him a degree of free reign..........Joel respects Jim........if they had a really bad working relationship during Batman i doubt Jim or Joel would have had enough belief to make 23 work...........so my guess is they got on OK..... :wink:

It's no secret Lee Jones (a real fine actor, btw) and Carrey didn't realy get along. Well, things like that can happen. Don't put me on a set with Elijah Wood, I'll make him shut up in the first five minutes. :D

well keep giving Elijah roles like he had in Sin City then u won't have to worry about it. :lol: jk. i think Elijah is a good actor but has a long road ahead of him.

RE about Tommy: if he was like with Jim, i hate to imagine how he was with Will Smith when the filmed MIB 1 & 2. :lol:
