WAMG First Look: ‘I Love You Phillip Morris’

The first official still from the upcoming film “I Love you Phillip Morris” has been released, showing Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor about to kiss.

The new movie tells the story of Steven Russell (Carrey), a married conman who found himself in a Texan prison where he fell in love with Phillip Morris (McGregor). Russell tried to escape from prison four times, coming up with more and more elaborate plans, including once faking his own death. Morris was eventually released but Russell landed over a hundred years behind bars because of his escape attempts.

“I Love You Phillip Morris” is written and directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, who are also responsible for the screenplay for “Bad Santa.”
