Son of the Mask 2005

Son of the Mask is a 2005 American superhero comedy film directed by Lawrence Guterman. A sequel to The Mask (1994), it is the second installment in The Mask franchise, which is based on the comic book series of the same name published by Dark Horse Comics. The film stars Jamie Kennedy as Tim Avery, an aspiring animator whose child is born with the powers of the Mask of Loki. The supporting cast includes Alan Cumming as Loki, who is ordered by Odin to recover the Mask, alongside Traylor Howard, Kal Penn, Steven Wright, Bob Hoskins as Odin and Ryan and Liam Falconer as Tim's son, Alvey. Ben Stein additionally appears in a brief role as Doctor Arthur Neuman from the original film. Plans for a sequel began as early as 1996, when an issue of Nintendo Power featured a promotional contest related to a proposed second film. However, the project stalled after Jim Carrey declined to reprise his role due to his negative experience making Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. Development resumed in 2001 with Kennedy cast in the lead role, and principal photography took place in Sydney, Australia, from November 2003 to April 2004.
