If you were hoping that the next Jim Carrey movie will be an Ace Ventura-like comedy, well bad luck. Carrey, who seems to have had a revelation of sort after a number of strange interviews lately, is instead going hardcore detective for the gritty crime drama, Dark Crimes. The movie is based on an article in The New Yorker called True Crime: A postmodern murder mystery, telling the story of an unsolved murder in Poland that bares a strange resemblance to a recently published book.

A bearded Carrey plays Polish cop Tadek investigating an author called Kozlow (The Amazing Spider-Man 2). But the closer he gets to the truth, the further he descends into an underworld of secrets. Greek director Alexandros Avranas (Miss Violence) is helming the project that also stars Charlotte Gainsbourg (Melancholia)
