Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor go gay, gay, gay! Yay!

The popular everything-gay gossip blog Queerty quite ecstatically notes that the latest preview for the new Jim Carrey/Ewan McGregor film, I Love You Phillip Morris is out, out, out about its main gay storyline.

The new trailer for Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor’s love-dramedy I Love You Phillip Morris makes no attempt to hide the fact that this movie is about two dudes falling in love. And in creating the trailer to be seen by American audiences, there’s no hiding the gay romance elements: Meeting in prison (holding hands!). Exiting prison (with a bear hug!). Moving in together.

Queerty also points out that the original trailer, “created for an international audience,” featured some “stererotypical gay elements” that “have been yanked.” The latest trailer is below, but visit Queerty to read their entire post and watch the first, even gayer, trailer.
