Carrey and Diaz to reunite onscreen

Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz have signed up to star together in a new comedy-drama called A Little Game Without Consequence, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The project marks the first time the pair have worked together since sparking onscreen in 1994's The Mask.

Now they will play a married couple who as a joke decide to fool friends into thinking they have broken up. However, the plan backfires when their close ones reveal that they never thought they belonged together in the first place.

Directed by Gabriele Muccino, filming is planned to start next month in New York.
