The folks at TrailerAddict posted what looks like an early version of a trailer for Glenn Ficarra and John Requa's upcoming comedy "I Love You Phillip Morris." You can check it out right after the jump.

Inspired by a true story, the film stars Jim Carrey as Steven Russell, a talented conman who ends up in a Texas prison, where he falls in love with his cellmate Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor).

While the preview below certainly looks interesting, it lasts for about three minutes and could use some additional editing. It looks more like a promo clip at this stage.

As for Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, their writing credits include "Bad Santa" and the remake of "Bad News Bears," two flicks I absolutely enjoyed.

As far as I know no U.S. release date has been confirmed yet. I'll let you know as soon as I learn more about it. For now, enjoy the preview below.
