The Farrelly Brothers Reviving the Three Stooges in 2009 - Blu-ray Forum

GreenScar · 11-04-2008, 02:24 AM

MGM has signed on Peter and Bobby Farrelly, better known as the Farrelly Brothers (of Dumb & Dumber, There's Something About Mary, Shallow Hal, Stuck on You, The Heartbreak Kid), to direct a contemporary re-imagining of The Three Stooges. The Farrellys are big fans and have tried to get a film setup over at Warner Brothers for over five years, but only recently got the greenlight at MGM. The studio has already set a November 20th, 2009 release date for the currently untitled film. The Stooges, made up of Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard, originally appeared in short films during the 1930's and beyond. No writer has been announced for this project yet, as the Farrelly's will only be directing.

Man, this is one of those things that just kills me. Some properties just really need to be left well enough alone. What could anyone possibly have to contribute to reimagining/remaking/reviving/whatever The Stooges?

The Stooges....is nothing sacred in Hollywood...

If I trust anyone to do the Three Stooges justice, it's the Farrelly brothers.

They were originally set to do a biopic, IIRC, but it's so much easier to do a "reimagining" out of old tribute material than create anything of real content...

(Even so, at least we've still got the Mel Gibson-produced TV movie.)
