Paul Giamatti and Benicio Del Toro Make Two of Three Stooges
Funny filmmaker Peter Farrelly revealed to The Boston Globe that he and his brother Bobby have settled on a replacement for Sean Penn as Larry in their Three Stooges movie: Paul Giamatti. He joins the already-cast Benicio Del Toro (apparently "one Hollywood's biggest Three Stooges fans"), who will star as Moe. Though there was talk previously of Jim Carrey taking on the role of Curly, Farrelly said that this is not the case, and he didn't offer up any other names.
Are You Glad Sean Penn Dropped Out of the Stooges Movie?
Sean Penn needs a little break. The Oscar-winning actor has abruptly pulled out of several projects, including the new Farrelly Brothers comedy, The Three Stooges. The casting for this movie has always been a little, well, odd to me, with Jim Carrey set to play Curly, Benicio Del Toro as Moe, and Sean Penn as Larry.
Are These Three the New Stooges?
I've been curious about the Farrelly Brothers' Three Stooges project for a while now, and "curious" is also the word I'd use to describe today's casting news. Sean Penn is, as rumored, on board to play Larry, and Jim Carrey has entered negotiations to play Curly. And while nobody's officially claimed the role of Moe, The Hollywood Reporter says Benicio del Toro has been named as a possibility.
Farrelly Brothers's Three Stooges Movie Gets Greenlit
It was mostly a rumor a year ago, but now it's for real: The Farrelly Brothers (those ol' kooks behind There's Something About Mary, Dumb and Dumber, and others) have decided that modern-day moviegoers "deserve their own Stooges" and have gotten MGM to back their Untitled Three Stooges Project. The MGM press release continues:
The Farrelly Brothers have been working on a modernization of the Stooges, "slapstick with heart" concept since the mid-90s. But it was their decision to focus on an origin story for Larry, Moe and Curly and thus introduce the three to a new generation that pushed the picture onto the fast track.
Should the Farrelly Brothers Make More Movies?
Today there's news of yet another comedic adventure coming from the Farrelly Bros., this one with the classy title Beaujolais. The movie is described as "a redneck action-adventure with a protagonist along the lines of an Austin Powers or Ace Ventura."
After suffering through their remake of The Heartbreak Kid last Fall and seeing the disappointing outcome of their TV series Unhitched, I might be pretty much done with these dudes.
First Look: Unhitched
If you've been missing Rashida Jones ever since Karen Filippelli left Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch, your wait is almost over. Unhitched, the new Fox comedy starring Jones, Craig Bierko, Johnny Sneed, and Shaun Majumder as four newly single, 30-something friends living together in Boston and attempting to restart their romantic lives, is set to premiere Mar. 2.

What's Your Favorite Farrelly Bros. Movie?
The Heartbreak Kid's so-so box office showing over its opening weekend has caused some people to wonder about the relevance of the Farrelly Brothers these days. It does seem to be the Age of Apatow, and perhaps the Farrelly Brothers' particular brand of comedy is something of the past. Yet their movies undeniably appeal to some people, and I myself have really enjoyed a few of them.
First Look: The Heartbreak Kid
It may not be coming out until October, but the trailer for the Farrelly brothers' next movie The Heartbreak Kid recently hit the Web and has started to stir up some buzz. Ben Stiller is back to doing adult comedy again, and it looks like he's matured a bit lately. Actually, he looks a little tired.
