has links to photographs from the film, the official website, the box office

Online - The Truman Show
Jimcarryonline is a webring started in June, 1996. Comprised of over
160 webpages devoted to Jim Carrey, this is a free service provided to
webmasters jointly by CyberReactive and The Webring. There seems to be
no other criteria for being part of the webring other than a webpage having
this notable actor as its theme. This particular site hosts a review by
an unknown person named "Loki." There’s a wealth of information
about Mr. Carrey here – from his complete name and birthdate to his filming
schedule, "Carrey Sightings," and more. This truly is a site
maintained by fans of the star.

its lengthy interview with director Peter Weir. [As an aside, please note
too the link to the article "News: Truman vs. Ed" comparing
The Truman Show to the movie edTV.]

The Truman Show
Home Page
Ken Sanes authors this site dedicated to "making things clear."
There seems to be no known motivation for Mr. Sanes other than his desire
to make readers question everything. He states: "The point is that
we need to look critically at all communications. That is particularly
essential in a time when many people are expert at the rhetorical manipulation
of words and the creation of convincing stage sets and images." Indeed,
he gives us all something to think about with his pages dedicated to The
Truman Show.
