The Mask is based on a comic book concept by Mike Richardson and Mark Badger that originally appeared in Dark Horse Presents in 1987. (Comic creators Doug Mahnke, John Arcudi, and Chris Warner also worked on subsequent iterations of the character.) While the feature film wound up being a frenzied comedy, the source material was considerably less hu...
At the time work was underway on The Mask, Carrey was still best known for his work onIn Living Color and in a series of supporting roles in films like Peggy Sue Got Married (1986) andEarth Girls Are Easy (1989). But Chuck Russell was very aware of the actor thanks to his time producing the 1986 Rodney Dangerfield comedyBack to School. (Dangerfield...
Carrey signed on toThe Mask before Ace Ventura: Pet Detective was released and turned the comic actor into a huge box office draw. That helped save New Line a little bit of cash: He was paid just $450,000 for the role, far less than the $7 million the studio gave him for Dumb and Dumber later that year. Carrey also came with an additional bargain: ...
The special effects artists at Industrial Light and Magic started working on the visuals for The Mask right after completing work on 1993’s groundbreaking Jurassic Park.

Carrey’s co-star inThe Mask was Max, a 5-year-old Jack Russell terrier who plays Stanley’s dog, Milo. Max virtually steals the movie from Carrey during the climax when he dons the mask. To get the dog to hithis marks, his trainer plied him with Fig Newtons, a treat he had learned to love as a puppy.
As the Mask, Ipkiss is a sharp dresser and admirer of 1940s couture who favors a bright yellow zoot suit. The costume was actually inspired by a suit Carrey wore during his early years as a stand-up comedian in the 1980s. His mother reportedlymade him a yellow polyester suit with tails on the premise that young men were wearing them. (Apparently, n...
Supermodel Anna Nicole Smith was one of several women Russell consideredfor the role of Tina, a singer who captures Stanley’s heart. Eventually, Russell settled on Cameron Diaz, a model who had yet to have any feature acting credits. “[She] was the only person for the part as far as I was concerned after her first reading,” Russell said. “And then ...
From the beginning, it had been Russell’s intention to make The Mask a kind of covert musical, including a major dance number in which Ipkiss (as the Mask) performs “Cuban Pete,” a song that was first released in 1936 and later popularized by Desi Arnaz on the sitcom I Love Lucy. New Line was less certain about the scene and considered cutting it u...
When New Line signed Carrey to The Mask back in 1993, the deal includeda provision for a sequel—one that looked likely given the film’s enormous success and Carrey’s box office appeal. He was to be paid up to $10 million for the follow-up. It never materialized. Though Carrey has done few sequels in his career (1995’s Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls...

Russell, in fact, had directed 1987’sA Nightmare on Elm St...
