10 Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis Get a Hall Pass
Is infidelity Hollywood's new hot topic?! Following the Vince Vaughn movie news on the same subject, his Wedding Crashers buddy Owen Wilson is getting a project of his own on the topic. Titled Hall Pass, the film centers on a husband (Wilson) who gets a "pass" from his wife to cheat after their marriage wanes. Saturday Night Live regular Jason Sudeikis has been tapped as Wilson's best friend, Read more
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 Read more
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. What do you think about Penn dropping out? Is it good to see a spot open up for Read more
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. Read more
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 Read more
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 Read more
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. Bierko's Jack "Gator" Gately Read more
Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt! This week's recast challenge is a project that looks like it will become a reality in the not-so-distant future. However, the Three Stooges movie will apparently be spearheaded by the Farrelly Brothers who, as Read more
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. What about Read more
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. He plays commitment-phobic Eddie who decides to suddenly take the plunge and marry Lila (Malin Read more
