Via here:"Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor's controversial comedy I Love You Phillip Morris has been shelved indefinitely in the US.
The film's Stateside distributor Consolidated Pictures Group confirmed to the Los Angeles Times that they have postponed the release of Phillip Morris, which stars Jim Carrey as a gay con artist who falls in love with his prison cellmate (Ewan McGregor).
Despite festival screenings at Sundance and Cannes, and a March 17 cinema release in the UK, CPG has pulled the plug on a planned April 30 US theatrical debut.
It is unclear if the film will make it to the big screen at all in North America or go straight to DVD and Blu-ray.
Phillip Morris made headlines last year when some US distribution firms declared their unease at its explicit gay sex scene between Carrey and McGregor's characters."
It's too early for me to start drinking, right? Just checking.

Is it too late to use this in the Prop 8 trial as demonstrations of continuous discrimination?? STUPID! translation: if it makes fun of 'em (Bruno) it's ok. If it serves the plot- it's not.
but...I really want to see the mens making out!! Jim Carrey doesn't really do much for me, but he does have a certain enthusiasm in movies, and if he carried it into this role, I really would like to see that.
No. What? Nonsense.
Does anyone live outside of the US that would be so kind as to bootleg the shit outta this?
This is idiotic. Ignoring the blatant discrimination, I know his films have had some trouble lately, but Jim Carrey is too big of a movie star to not have one of his films released in the United States. Completely and utterly ridiculous.
Discrimination issues aside (because, really, duh)...
I really, really, really, really, really want to see this movie.
