Mike Richardson, creator of The Mask and Dark Horse Comics founder, has revealed that he has a few ideas in place for a woman-fronted reboot of the iconic movie.
In an interview with Forbes, Richardson said he has an actor in mind for the role but believes they would have to push really hard to get her on board.
I'd like to see a really good physical comedian (in the role). I have one in mind, but I'm not gonna say her name. We have to do a lot of convincing for this particular actor, but we'll see You never know what's coming in the future. We have some ideas, he said.
The first movie in the franchise was Jim Carrey-starrer The Mask (1994). It was followed by failed Son of The Mask sequel in 2005, featuring Jamie Kennedy.
