    The Three Stooges (film)

    I know that this film has been in talks from quite some time now. But it looks like it has been reported that the casting in done for the actors playing each of the three stooges.

    Farrelly Bros. casting “The Three Stooges,” with Sean Penn as Larry, Jim Carrey as Curly & Benicio Del Toro as Moe.

    To me, those three are some big name actors. But for a Farrelly Brothers film? Aren't they above doing films like this? I don't know, I'm calling bullshit on this one until I get more confirmation.

    Yeah, this news is all over. I even heard it reported on NPR. Very strange. I too am dubious until I see more info.

    Moe: What do you know about art?

    Curly: My dad used to draw.

    Moe: he did?

    Curly: Yeah, he once drew ten years with one stroke of the pen...nyuk,nyuk,nyuk.

    There was a thread on this one a while back, but the "casting" (which I'm highly dubious of, UNLESS they're doing it as a bio pic?) is a new one.

    Honestly, I don't give a fuck who they cast in this goddamn thing, If it ain't Moe Howard, Larry Fine, & Jerome "Curley" Howard then It.Ain't.The.Three.Friggin'.Stooges. Period.

    Well I agree for the most part, although I will accept Shemp, I liked Shemp. But I never liked Curly Joe.

    The Farrelly Brothers have had hits and misses. So i'm down with at least giving it a shot. Could turn out to be good.

    Although some part of me thinks that Sam Raimi would have made a better Stooges director....

    Which would be great to see. I'm not a huge fan of the Stooges, but respect their work. I feel it needs to be set aside and fall victim to these remakes/reinvisionings etc.

    I've still not gotten over that Honeymooners remake, not that I saw it

    A biopic, however, is different and could be truly great.

    I hope the Stooges rise from their graves, zombie style, and do some serious gut munching on the Farrelys.

    They say they're big fans but you know they're only really doing it to make a buck. Just like all the other needless remakes that have come out, It has a built in fan base.

    Oh absolutely. I'm down with Shemp. I was alluding more to the fact that the Stooges are Mssrs. Howard, Fine & Howard. Not whatever 3 asshats you want to cast & call them "THE Three Stooges.

    They did one a few years ago as a made-for-deal. I didn't get a chance to see it. Based on a biography written about them IIRC, which I really want to track down & give a read.

    Actually, now that I think of it....Sean Penn would actually make a pretty good Larry.

    From what I gather it's going to be a pseudo-biopic with the actors named above playing the actual actors Howard, Fine & Howard but in the vein of the Stooges' in-movie personas.

    You could probably replace them three actors and Just get Mel Gibson to play all three parts.
