Jim Carrey is in negotiations to join Ben Stiller in the Jay Roach-directed comedy "Used Guys," Variety reports.

The futuristic film, which takes place in a world run by women, would see Carrey and Stiller playing obsolete pleasure clones that try to make a break for a male paradise called "Mantopia."

The movie would mark the first time Carrey and Stiller have acted together on screen. Stiller directed Carrey in 1996's "The Cable Guy."

Stiller and Roach worked together on 2000's "Meet the Parents," and last year's sequel "Meet the Fockers."

"Used Guys" is scheduled to begin shooting next spring.
