You may have heard the rumors but if you're like me, you didn't really think they would pan out. But somehow they have. Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro are set to star in THE THREE STOOGES for the Farrelly Brothers and they're bringing Jim Carrey with them. Del Toro will star as Moe, Penn will star as Larry and Carrey will gain 40 lbs to star as Curly. And I swear this is not an early April Fools gag.

As I mentioned, both Penn and Del Toro had been rumored as possibilities (as had Russell Crowe at one point) but Carrey's name never came up (at least anywhere that I heard). Penn had reportedly been studying with voiceman Billy West (who did an amazing Larry Fine
back on the "Howard Stern Show") to get his voice down. As Variety notes, it would be Penn's first comedy since 1989 and a surprising one giving his recent Oscar win for MILK.

Now that the cast is set, the Farrelly brothers will fine tune the script and look to have production underway this fall for MGM. As previously mentioned, this project won't be a biopic but rather a comedy very much the way the Three Stooges would have made a comedy back in their day.

Extra Tidbit: Wow.

Now this is going to be interesting.

...that about sums it up for me

P@t_Mtl · 03-26-2009, 01:54 PM

I never was a fan of The Three Stooges, I always prefered The Marx Brothers or Abbott & Costello but is it just me or this casting make's no sense what so ever?

nick1091 · 03-26-2009, 02:10 PM

The casting seems unusual, but I'm not sure who could pull it off.

My real concern is if it can carry a full length picture. The 3 Stooges shorts were great, but the movies were terrible (of course, that was with Curly Joe as the 3rd man.)

This is absolutely the worst idea I've heard this century.

They should have a Razzie award sent to them for even mentioning the concept.

GLaDOS · 06-17-2009, 06:34 PM

I feel scared; Sean Penn won his Oscar, and Jim Carrey recently got a good comedy (Yes Man), so I think's it's a bad idea to cast them as the Three Stooges. Razzie nominations, here they come!

HEY,

Its seems that there is an interesting update in which I myself (Biased most Possibly) is in agreement with:

PAUL GIAMATTI IS THE ANSWER.

The Three Stooges.

Lord_Stewie · 08-11-2009, 04:16 AM

So no one this is good news. come on guys what do you think?

Ofcrlunchbox14 · 03-25-2009, 09:00 PM

this sounds like a god-awful casting decision to me

Red Hood · 03-25-2009, 09:02 PM

JamesKurtovich · 03-25-2009, 09:04 PM

Incorrect.

Slapstick comedy is not the same as sticking a firecracker up your @$$.

Slapstick comedy is actually funny.
