You might know Jeff Daniels as Will McAvoy, anchor of News Night on The Newsroom.

After a long time spinning on the rumour mill it was confirmed a few months ago, and this week Daniels and his co-star Jim Carrey (who'll reprise his role as the brilliantly mean Lloyd Christmas - pretty bird, anyone?) have officially begun filming a sequel called Dumb and Dumber To. 

While details on the film are scarce, here's what Daniels said when he was asked what we can expect at the Emmys: 

"There are some things [that] we're going to do in Dumb and Dumber To that make the toilet scene [in the original] seem lame. Pales in comparison and I can't divulge what, but just that they've topped it. [The] best thing about it? I get to work with a comedic genius."

Dumb and Dumber To will be released in 2014, 20 years after the original.
