You may know alot about this guy...but you don't know enough...
Corona Coming Attractions has said that Jim Carrey has signed on to do this film...it is said as FACT.
Here's the whole page for you to read up on the history behind the 'Plastic Man' film, and the statement that Jim Carrey is infact signed on to do 'Plastic Man' - Again, this is all from Corona Coming Attractions:
"Plastic Man
Genre: Superhero/Comic Book Adaptation/Adventure.
Studio: Warner Brothers.
Production Company: Amblin Entertainment.
Project Phase: Development Hell.
Who's In It: Jim Carrey (Plastic Man).
Who's Making It: Larry Wachowski, Andy Wachowski, Lester Lewis (Screenwriters); based upon the DC Comics character Plastic Man.
Premise: He stretches to amazing lengths. He'll bend backwards to right wrongs. He'll go to any length to help the innocent. And chicks dig the guy. He's Plastic Man, the only-living male who won't think of ulterior motives when a pretty woman asks him about his rubber qualities.
Release Date: Unknown.
Developments:
January, 1997... Jeffrey Wright has been paid half of his director's fees and moved off the project. The studio is having difficulties with the script, and the project is growing cold.
Comments: Doesn't this project seem like the perfect excuse for CGI technology?
Rumors: Unknown.
Scoop Feedback:
June 7, 1996... We received a strange e-mail informing us that Keanu Reeves will be cast in the role of Plastic Man the week of June 15, 1996, according to this person who heard it from Daniel Scharf, who's was allegedly Geoffrey Wright's producer. As well, production designer Lawrence Paull (of Blade Runner fame) is 'in' the project. We'd love to confirm this but can't - if you can, you know how to reach us. [Scoop submitted anonymously.]
June 20, 1996... Another person heard rumors a few years back that Paul Reubens (Pee-Wee, remember?) was set to star in the vehicle before his tragic...er, setback. [Scoop sent in anonymously.]
July 7, 1996... This film may be an Amblin project. [Scoop reported by the 'Stuntman'.]
October 18, 1996... This scooper reports that they spoke to the Wachowski brothers recently. When the scooper asked about whether or not the film would ever be made, the Wachowskis sounded hesitant. The current script has Plastic Man as a sort of 'environmental crusader'. "The first time he urinates as Plastic Man, he realizes the urine is not biodegradable. That's all they told me," the source adds. [Scoop reported anonymously.]
December 1, 1996... This scooper writes to tell us some more background about the slow-moving project's history. In 1994, Amblin Entertainment had several up-and-coming screenwriters work on their own treatments of Plastic Man as long as certain "required" elements (such as blue Chinese gum that the character chews and the Plasticman suit) were included; otherwise, the writers were free to set up the story any way they liked. One of these writers, C.M. Talkington, (who later wrote and directed Love and a .45 for Trimark Pictures) "...wrote a script that was well written but perhaps a little too anti-heroish for Amblin," the scooper tells us. "I do not know if the Wachowski Brothers were part of this herd, or if their script was cobbled together and rewritten from the various scripts turned in. The Plastic Man film was originally shelved in 1994 when Disney went into production with their similar Stretch Armstrong movie. However, it's two years later and there is still no sign of Stretch." [Scoop sent in by 'filmjerk'.]
January 4, 1997... Jeffrey Wright has been paid half of his director fees and the studio has pulled the plug on the project, citing script problems. [Scoop provided by 'shape'.]
October 28, 1997... We've seen more movement at midnight in a cemetary than we've seen on this project in a long while; and this scooper would like to give us some backstory on what form Plastic Man was in before Sony aquired the rights. Years ago, the production team of Peter Guber and Jon Peters were developing the property and had met with Paul Reubens (of Pee-Wee Herman fame/infamy.) Reubens was being courted to become attached to the property until his, ah, incident in an adult movie theater 'sidetracked' (well, plain-out de-railed we suppose) his career. When Sony bought Guber-Peters out, Amblin inherited the project, and that's where we are today. [Thanks to someone anonymous.]
April 1, 2002... The Plastic Man movie project that's been stuck in development hell for the past seven years got taken off of life support today when it was announced comedic susperstar Jim Carrey would play the part of the elasticated superhero. It's the third superhero movie for Carrey who rose to stardom first in The Mask, then took on the role of The Riddler in Batman and Robin.
Carrey will receive $20 million smackeroos for playing the rubbery crimefighter for Warner Bros. The studio is moving ahead with the screenplay written by the Wachowski brothers (directors/writers of that studio's new mega-franchise The Matrix) but the duo will not have any involvement with the production, as they are currently up to their necks working on the two Matrix sequels. A director is being sought and a summer 2003 release date is hoped for. [Reported by a GeoCities website.]"
There you have it...
So unless Corona is known to have false information...which they Very Rarely are...Jim Carrey is doing 'Plastic Man'.

April...that was a few months back, yes...BUT, once an actor Signs a contract saying that your going to do a movie...thats it, you've put your john hancock on that dotted line, it's a written agreement that's very difficuilt to be broken in Hollywood...
Just look at the Mike Myers case, where he signed on to do the Sprokets Movie for Dreamworks and then he decided he didn't want to do it, they sued huim for millions and he has no option now but to do another film for Dreamworks which turned out to be the 'Cat In The Hat', which he's filming right now...
Point is, time has nothing to do with anything, especially just a few months, that's nothing...It says there that he's signed on to do the film and that warner bros. wants to have it done for a summer 2003 release...
Unless the information on Corona is wrong, I don't know what to tell ya'. Corona is a very reliable movie info site, especially when they state something as FACT.
And regarding the other poster that said it could be an april fools prank... Thats not it, because the Plastic Man project has been in the works and in the development stages since the early 90's...Its not like they made up a film... And they can't just make up information on a develloping film.
