I am pretty sure that the director not wanted to chance so much at the lines but i dodont think he want to make a "copy" with just diffrent actors.. I think that he create the movie so its get more humor in it and more fun.. I dont think he would ask Jim to act in the movie if he didnt haver plans do make a better movie than it alredy was
I think that the old version i PRETTY good.. it can be a litte bit boring in some minutes but i think its a good movie..
I will really enjoy see the remake and hope so much that its even better than other Jim Carrey movies.. I have seen the trailers and i think it looks promesing and i can just say thet i want to see the whole scenes with the dog
have a good day and hope you will enjoy the movie when you can see it at cinema.. ( i cant see it before like 2006.. live in sweden..
