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 Read more

Is it good to see a spot open up for Read more

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 Read more

The Three Stooges Movie Trailer

Well, the Farrelly brothers' long-awaited update of The Three Stooges is here, and it's full of nyucks, pratfalls, and attempts to make the characters relevant. Sean Hayes, Will Sasso, and Chris Diamantopoulos star as Larry, Curly, and Moe, but the actors come off looking more like three guys who dressed up as the trio for Halloween. The classic Stooges bits also feel like they're nothing but Read more
