Jim Carrey and Ron Howard may be heading back to Whoville.

Universal and Imagine Entertainment are developing a sequel to 2000’s “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” a family smash that dominated the box office earning more than $350 million, a huge sum at the time. In addition to Carrey, who starred as the Grinch, Howard is expected to return as director. Brian Grazer, the co-founder of Imagine with Howard, is expected to come back as a producer on the film.
