    Default 'Three Stooges' Headed To Big Screen

    Larry, Moe and Curly have gotten the greenlight from MGM Studios, and the Farrelly Brothers, the comedy team behind "There's Something About Mary" and "Dumb and Dumber," are now casting their slapstick dream.

    MGM has slated the Stooges for a November 20, 2009 release date.

    "The Three Stooges are a timeless staple of comedy and when we heard what the Farrellys had in mind we knew it was time for Larry, Moe and Curly to return to the big screen," says MGM Chairman Mary Parent.

    Bobby and Peter Farrelly have been talking about the movie for years. "We wrote the script like two or three years ago," Farrelly said in 2005. "It was the hardest script we ever wrote."

    Farrelly also talked about the troubles they ahve had casting the film. "We went to Clooney," Farrelly said. "He passed. Russell Crowe passed. Benicio was interested. Jeff Daniels was interested. We heard at some point that Sean Penn was interested for Larry. We went to Larry David for Larry and he passed. That's been a hard one to get together."

    Chris Farley as Curly would have been awesome.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Well, Dumb and Dumber was practically the Three Stooges (just two though).
    Jim Carey(Moe), Will Farrell(Larry), and ....well Chris Farely would of been a shoe-in for Curly, I can't think of any other overweight comedians.

    Wow, if these were their choices, then this is not going to be good at all. I also feel like the Farrelly's will be way too inclined to throw in some bathroom humor, which there is no need for in a Three Stooges movie.

    I think they did a Three Stooges TV movie or something like that a few years ago. I might be wrong about that, though. Off to IMDB...

    Edit:
    Yeah, here it is:

    Michael Chiklis as Curly. Interesting. I think after The Shield, though, nobody would buy him in a comedic role. I agree with hjmick, though, this just seems like a terrible idea. That style of comedy just doesn't translate to a modern filmmaking style, not to mention no kids or teens are going to give a crap about The Three Stooges.
