Paging Dr. Carrey, Dr. Penn, Dr. Del Toro...
Beaks here...
It's been all but confirmed for months, but now it's officially official: Sean Penn is set to play Larry in the Farrelly Brothers' THE THREE STOOGES. Time to pull that CARLITO'S WAY fright wig out of storage.
As for who might be joining him in this slapstick melee, the Hollywood Reporter claims that Benicio Del Toro is still the "rumored" frontrunner for Moe (perfect casting), while Jim Carrey has emerged as the favorite for Curly. And this isn't rumor: he's currently in negotiations, and is evidently prepared to gain forty pounds to do the big guy justice. While I'd never doubt Carrey's talents as a mimic, I can't help but wonder... is forty pounds enough?
The Farrellys have set up the film at MGM, and are hoping to begin production this fall in order to hit a 2010 release date. According to the Reporter, the script is no longer a series of four loosely connected vignettes, but a complete, "streamlined" narrative. It also begins with an orphanage sequence that will require massive CG de-aging for the three stars. Generally, I think CG is the death of comedy, but the Farrellys have been at this game for a long time, so I'll not question their comedic instincts (even though I thought they missed with their remake of THE HEARTBREAK KID).
What do you guys think? I'm all for Penn and Del Toro slapping the shit out of each other, but Carrey as Curly? Show me.

I don't see what the fuss is about.
-
At least in this incarnation.
-
work a bunch of cock jokes into a Three Stooges movie? Unless I'm forgetting the one where Curly whips out his junk and fucks a pie.
Or was that a Shemp? -
Fast Times is the last time I remember laughing at Sean Penn, as opposed to being oddly intimidated through silver screen osmosis.
-
Unless you're talking about his stupid democratic views
-
Sean Penn can suck it & Jim Carrey is a ham. Del Torro I love though. Wish Mel Gibson was in here someplace.
-
later in his life he got freaking huge- I don't see how this works.
-
That was done a few years back with Michael Chiklis as Curly, wasn't it? It's an actual Three Stooges movie?
I'll go see it, just becuase I love the old shorts. Speaking of short, all the Stooges represented here were about 5'4" tall. It added a lot to the humor that they were all so short. They may be loosing something with the height of the actors... -
Who is asking for this movie? And why are Sean Penn and Del Toro even considering being in it?
-
Is this in the same vein as Chaplin? Or straight comedy? Also, if it's not b&w.... This makes my head hurt.
-
Robert Downey Jr., for the one about the guy who is homeless but is also a musical wiz.
-
Of all the things that film, television and any other form of media that has been regarded as legendary, and impossible to remake, trying to cast ANYONE as the GOAT comic team in human history is a mockery. Genius casting my ass, genius is someone airing episodes on a regular basis. :/
-
That is not a good thing.
-
If it's not in B&W on the theater, expect to be able to do it on the DVD.
And Eskimo, Del Toro will need a follow-up to The Wolf Man, cause Silence is gonna fall on it's face. -
These guys are supposed to be short and all about the same height, yeah? I can't see Penn's diminuative stature next to Del Toro's beefy height and Carrey's outright lanky frame. Even if he gains 40, it's still not gonna look right. There was a certain flow and energy with the way those three lined up when they came into a room. That dynamic is really important, even before you get into the physicality of pratfalls and timing and such. Also, Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk.
-
...in CGI or the fucking Lone Ranger, staring Will Smith as Tonto, or Antiques Road Show feature film: The Shows Not Over. I mean, people are really getting paid to come up with these ideas, and studios are really paying to get them made. Jesus Fucking H Christmas!!
-
An April Fools a full week before it's release date!
Seriously though, this sounds awful -
For most bizarre cast ever...I like all 3 actors, Carrey makes sense for the movie but Penn and Del Toro seem way out there. That being said, I think way out there is perfect.
-
or Fever Pitch.
The Farellys have made a couple of decent movies, Kingpin and Dumb and Dumber. Everything has been wildly overrated. -
...g'wan ya puddin' heads, no way Jim Carrey can come off as Curly. Nyuk, nyuks or nowt! But, oddly enough, I can picture Penn as Larry. C'mon, he can acheive that sort of dopey-not-really-there look naturally. Heh, delToro already looks a bit like Moe.Hope this doesn't suck. Anybody know if it's going to be a bio or an attempt at RE-MAKING (the horror, the horror) some Stooge bits?
-
But this smells like a stinker. Hollywood needs to let some things alone. And yeah i bet the farrelys find some way to stick curleys cock in a vice or something. A new edgier stooges i bet. Fuck this.
-
Hope it works.
-
dont do it guys
-
Weird casting.
-
The brothers suck...Let me guess the 3 stooges fall in love with 3 chicks- who leave them- so they go ona long road trip to get the gals..hilarity ensues ( that's the blueprint for all their comedies )
-
Sorry

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!! WILL THESE REMAKES NEVER END???
by thefuckingcreepythinman
Every fucking movie that comes out is either a fucking sequel, prequel, remakes or adaptation of a fucking TV show or cartoon. Is Hollywood soo fucking illiterate they they are incapable of reading fucking novels which would make great movies?!? Do any of you realize that maost of the classic films of the 70's, the greatest era in North American cinema history, were adaptatons of BOOKS?!? Godfather 1&2, French Connection, Jaws, Carrie, All the Presidents Men, Exorcist etc...adaptations of novels accounted for over half of the classics of that era!!!
-
Watch Fast Times at Ridgemont High and then make that statement. Few comedy actors are ever as funny as he is in that movie.
-
aloha mr hand
-
Come on guys.
-
And that is dumb and dumber, which is a comedy classic. Everything else varies from decent (kingpin, there's something about Mary) to crap (fever pitch, shallow hal)
-
Spelling error, sorry.
-
Let me get this straight: the Farellys are doing a Three Stooges biopic, which should be about three tiny fat Jewish men, and the cast includes the very tall Del Toro, the tall Carrey and the shrimpy Penn? Who the hell is playing who?! And if the excuse is "this is a RE-IMAGINING of their lives and careers," then all I have to say is, watch "Fur," guys. Jesus. This is stupid even for them.
-
so fuck you Variety! http://www.variety.com/VR1118001643.html

Can't wait for them to start remaking Charlie Chaplin movies.
by knuckleduster
I think I'll kill myself.
-
NO DIIIIIIIIICE! I also thought he was funny in "We're No Angels"
-
Woody Woodpecker and Tom and Jerry kick there ass when it comes to slap stick. How many times can you laugh at someone getting bonked on the head or getting there noses pulled.
-
what's the joke
-
The lawyers representing the Farrellys.
-
You know it in your heart to be true. As for Curly, the Stooges themselves already proved that he is irreplaceable.
-
It's not going to be a biopic. It's going to be a 90 version of the shorts from the 1940's and 1950's.
-
Unless they're Stooges In Name Only, there is NO FUCKING WAY Benicio del Toro is Moe, NO FUCKING WAY Sean Penn is Larry and ABSOLUTELY NO FUCKING WAY Jim Carrey is Curly.
Just dig up the Stooges' corpses and skullfuck them while you're at it. Jesus Christ...
-
Otherwise...no.
-
Than have 3 guys pretend to be some old stooges. But doing it my way would be bold and risky, two adjectives that never describe Hollywood.
-
It's going to be a 90 MINUTE version of the shorts from the 30's and 40's.
For fuck's sake... -
no doubt about it
-
Fuck no. Del Toro looks so much like Moe Howard that people will make the same analogy they made with Routh/Reeve.
Carrey can be tossed to the curb, but leave BDT as is.
-
He's a prick and devoid of humor.
-
This is the most BIZARRE project I've seen. Not a biopic, not an adaptation with the same exact characters (like The New Adventures of Oliver and Hardy), but a reboot-reimagening of The Three Stooges. BI-ZAAAAAARRE...!
-
Booooooooooooo!
Booooooooooooo!
Booooooooooooo!
Thumbs down! -
I dont know what came into me.

Sean Penn, about as funny as that "3 Guys 1 Hammer" video.
by jackpumpkinhead
Plus, the jackoff will probably try to write in a "skit" about the wonders of Cuban hospitals and the beauty of the utopian nursery schools in North Korea...
-
And why isn't Larry David playing Larry?
-
They made a comedy about Siamese twin brothers. And Something About Mary. I have faith in the Farrellys.
-
Chris Penn. RIP.
-
Isn't he the obvious choice?

I think it is going to be interesting but knowing America
by cajunsblues
send in the no-fun police
"this movie shows that people can use a drill and put it in someones ear, turn it on and they will not get hurt. Our children should not be subjected to this fake violence. we need wholesome movies like Home Alone... oh wait."
i cant wait for the idiot parents
:) -
He was BORN for the role.
-
Dr. Gonzo is about the funniest thing I've ever seen.
-
Dewey, Cheatem and Howe.
-
I think Penn will do fine, but Billy West would be perfect. Jim Carrey would be better suited for Shemp.
-
look no further than Mouse Hunt as proof.
-
Jerry as Moe Costanza as Curly , Kramer as Shemp.... problem sovled!

For a sec I thought it was a biopic and was like "Whaaaat?!!"
by mr nicholas
-
Stand By Me, they can remake whatever the fuck they want. I don't have to go see it. That being said.......WHAT THE FUCK? Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Jim Carrey? Did they draw names from a fucking hat?
-
He played the guy in a TV biopic, I'm kinda sure he can do it again...
-
I like the cast (even Carrey to an extent), but I don't like this cast for this specific movie. High calibre actors for a movie that doesn't really call for it. Plus, when were the Farrelly Brothers last relevnt and/or funny?
-
Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard...
-
Did you hear that?! Curly spinning in his grave! I sure as fuck heard it!
-
...it might just work. I love Penn, Del Toro, and Carrey, so seeing them do slapstick alongside each other is a pretty exciting proposition.
-
Pete Postlethwaite in a wig as Shemp. Me as Person Not Interested In This Film.
-
I can picture all of this in my head and it's embarrassing to watch for the careers involved.
-
the original Stooges spent years in Vaudeville honing their comedic timing, and it's all about the timing. How are three actors going to recreate that for one movie?
-
why dont theyjust write a comedy aboutthree idiots instead of making them the3 stooges.
-
Looking like the Stooges is the very least of it. Being able to do what the Stooges did, and these guys were comedic geniuses, is going to be impossible.
-
Sounds Good. I expect nothing less.
-
Surely it should be Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell making a Three Stooges movie?
-
..about their lives before they became the Stooges. But even then..... my head is bleeding from all the scratching.
-
The stooges had a great act, and I thought the 2000 biopic was pretty good. I just don't see people clamoring for a wannabe stooges movie. Hopefully this thing will die a horrible death in development hell.
-
Surely thats the most important question?
-
to take you out of this movie:
1) The actors not resembling the original Stooges at all.
2) The dialog in the script not matching the style of word play from the 30s-40s.
Sounds like it will be a disappointment to me. -
on South Park...was that Gacy, Bundy and Dahmer? Now thats a trio I could see Del Toro, Penn and Carrey play.
-
Did DeNiro gain that much for Raging Bull?
-
http://www.aintitbalenews.com/
-
Breaking the record. Did he ever lose it...
-
Del Toro as Moe is decent, but Penn and Carry? I would rather see billy Crystal or Brent Spiner as Larry and Jack Black as Curley.
-
moe howard as moe, Larry Fine as Larry, and Curly Howard as Curly. otherwise this is some dumb.
-
...retaining the original sound effects from the Stooges episodes.
Though I still think this will fail miserably. -
What is next, Abbott and Costello? With George Clooney and John Turturro.. Tons of stories out there to do Hollywood is in full retard mode.
-
He could totally do it.
-
a bear? you numbskull, how could there be a bear in there?
It's barely possible. -
One of the great things about the Three Stooges that was perfect was that they were roughly the same height. Del Toro will tower over Penn and it will look off....just look very wrong.
Sean Penn is good casting because he really can play any role. Del Toro is a great actor but a Stooge??? Jim Carrey gaining 40 pounds???? I don't think so. -
What a worthless pile of shit. Why anyone casts him in anything is beyond me. Oh, and I'm sooo excited for a Three Stooges movie.
-
Didn't he lose his sense of humor back when Team America came out.
-
Also, Roy Orbison.
-
that's my vote.
will sasso for curly. what else is he doing?
and dave attell for larry. -
It's such hard work to put on weight and then lose it.
I think Dumb and Dumber is the funniest movie of all time.
This is a chance for the Farrelly's to hit back in a big way.
It's all been Judd Apatow lately. Come on Peter and Bobby you were once the Kings of comedy. -
It was a long time ago, but I remember one of the stooges getting covered in tar and floating off into the air. They decide to shoot him out of the air with a shotgun. Absolutely hillarious...
-
huh?
-
this sounds so unwatchable i just imploded mentally
-
My Stradivarius!
-
It's probably one of the worst ideas I've seen in a long while. It's almost impressively terrible. I love the idea of this thing crashing. And if its good, well then that's awesome too. Either way, I win.
-
And Russell Crowe actually looks more like Curly than any of those other actors.
-
Originally that is how I understood the article when I skimmed it.
-
You know it to be true.
-
Why can he play Curly? I think his brand of slapstick and his general appearance would be perfect for the role.
I actually like the casting of Penn as Larry. I didn't think I would, but if you put a wig on the guy he will resemble him enough. Penn is a talented actor, so I think he'll pull it off nicely. -
Or Shempedro, if you have to explain the accent. Give him the haircut and it's uncanny.
-
Sounds fucking epic.
-
that worked pretty well. Chiklis was a good curley.
-
Im on board with most of the others on this board. This is absolutely ludicrous casting. Del Toro, as Moe? really??!! Youve got to be kidding me. I mean, look at Moe and look at Del Toro. Downey as Chaplin is inspired, this is just insane. Id rather see Drew Carrey than Jim Carrey as Curley. This has doom written all over it. First True Grit and now this....how bout some originality Hollywood or else you might as well move back to Fort Lee, NJ where you first started all those years ago
-
If he lives long enough to play him...
-
and Moe Howard and Benecio Del Toro actually look a lot alike. I think that's pretty damn good casting. Sean Penn sucks lots of dicks and the Carrey casting seems weird, but the Del Toro casting seems spot on.
-
I dread this far more than even a Boy George and Culture Club comeback. Even more than a George Michael and Wham comeback. If I can get my hands on a Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator from my friend Marvin, I am sorry, but I will have no choice but to destroy the Earth before I can let this travesty happen.
-
= not a 3 stooges movie. Hey, lets make a Marx brothers movie w/out the Marx brothers! How about a Hope and Crosby road movie w/out Hope and Crosby! Or a Steven Spielberg movie w/out Steven Spielberg!
-

I blame the Pink Panther remake for this
by christian_bale_trashed_my_lights
Stop taking iconic roles and recasting them. Come up wth your own fucking characters, you piece of shit Hollywood studios.
-
I always thought David Paymer (jewish ice cream guy in City Slickers)looks exactly like Larry. Probably to old for the part?
-
People forget that Shemp was in the act before Curly, and he came back after Curly left. Of course, Curly died a bitter and broken man, as all great comics do. Also, Carrey will gain maybe 20 pounds to get the fatness around his face, and then a fat suit will be applied. It is very cool in Hollywood to gain weight, and then lose it again really fast. It's really easy to do with the right medications.
-
Hes Benicio Del Toro, he looks nothing like a jew from Brooklyn, sorry.....You wanna make him up to be Oscar Acosta or Che, fine, I have no problem with that but he looks nothing like Moe Howard
-
Mar 25, 2009 6:35:22 PM CDT
As long as they dont reuse any of the three stooges...
by whinynegativebitch
...Schtick I'll go watch it. Fucking hell, I almost smash the TV in frustrated boredom when I see the three stooges. I know retarded people who find it funny, but I just don't get it.
-
besides how tall was Curly? Jim Carrey's pretty tall, no?
-
Fast Times? Been a while between drinks for him.
-
Just sayin'...
and I still won't see this pile. -
And no way will I be seeing a movie with Sean "I'm the most narcissistic, over-rated actor in the history of Hollywood" Penn, even if he is playing comedy god Larry Fine.
-
If the script calls for Larry Fine to be a chain smoking alcoholic who spends his free time ass-tonguing dictators. Make room on your shelf for another Oscar, Sean baby!
-
This casting news sounds more like a big joke.
-
vis-a-vis the allegedly perfect casting of Del Toro as Moe
-
Moe: Steve Carell (brilliant on my part; Curley: John C. Reilly; Larry: Will Ferrel....discuss
-
"Oh noes, I can't laugh becuz they did it with CG so iz not funnniee!!" Really? What kind of fucked up luddite logic is that? It's not funny cause it was rendered on a computer. Right. Sure. Makes sense.
-
Mar 25, 2009 7:45:44 PM CDT
carrey is more talented than penn
by supercowbell4therequestformorecowbell
and del toro but i have to see che. i think id rather not see a three stooges movie anyway their so god damn outdated.
-
the dream team is russel croew as moe, michael richards as larry, and harry knowles as curly (might need to nair the hair there)
-
Carrey needs to go. I just don't see him working in this. I don't want to hear his voice, I'll think of Ace Ventura. It needs to be someone new. Penn with a good wig would work.
I actually think this will work if they fucking do it right. I see Gibson doing a cameo. I wonder if he'll says "sugar tits!" -
Steve Carell, Will Ferrel...no fucking way.
-
You don't find somebody being slapped silly or having his head shaved with a saw or his hair pulled out by its roots hysterical?
You Sir or Madame, have no sense of humor. -
About as brilliant as lighting a cigarette while sitting in a bathtub full of gasoline... which is exactly what I hope the producers of this film do...
-
..like Benicio Del Toro and Sean Penn. And you're worried about Carrey Beaks?!?!?!? Oh the real Stooges must be spinning in their tiny graves. The Farrelley's are dead to me now. Laughter has truly jumped the shark.
-
not bad, not good, just...
uncomfortable. -
Boo and hiss. What a stupid idea. The Three Stooges wouldn't work as a 90 minute film in this time, and it's silly they need to recruit high profile actors to fill the roles. If this was a direct to DVD release/ limited release with unknown actors, I could MAYBE get behind it with a great script and direction that is faithful to the original Stooges.
-
Like bathing with a hairdryer bad.
-
for Moe
-
This is an ABOMINATION and a DESCECRATION to all that is great about The 3 Stooges! THIS SHOULD NOT BE DONE!!! The whole idea is SHIT!
-
The Stooges came together naturally and honed their skills for years in vaudeville before hitting the movies - it may be a bad comparison but they were like the Beatles in that they knew each other so well that each one could predict what the other would do. You can't just cast three disparate guys and expect to recapture whatever it was the Stooges had together - didn't anyone learn anything from "For Love or Mummy"? And the Stooges were funny when they had a good script, like "Punch Drunks" or "Men in Black", or a good director like Charley Chase who made the short with the "Swingin' with the Alphabet" song. They just never got the scripts/feature film offers the Marx's did, and by the time they were allowed to make features, Curly and Shemp were dead and replaced with the unfunny DeRita, Larry and Moe were old and tired, and parents groups had made them cut back on the violence.
-
2 hours of 3 Stooges? I guess Sam Raimi might like that. I wouldn't. The Farrelly brothers don't exactly inspire confidence in this, either. This is a gigantic WTF?
-
What the fuck is he smoking?
-
rather then one story.
-
...I think CHE and MYSTIC RIVER.
-
I think you're a piece of shit for endorsing this casting.
I'd rather watch a live abortion performed than the dead abortion this film will be.
The only reason I'd laugh at Jim Carey is if it were 10 years ago and his schitck were new. The only reason I'd laugh at Benecio DelTorro is if I could fucking understand him. And the only reason I'd laugh at Sean Penn is if he were being dragged by an ice cream truck playing that ice cream truck music.
We'd be better off with a black screen for two hours.
Or here's a better idea -- RE-RELEASE TWO HOURS WORTH OF THE ORIGINAL STOOGES SHORTS. Christ, even a Joe BEsser marathon would beat this. -
I can't believe this site even writes this one up..and I still can't find a review fron this site of the #1 film this week
Knowing...which seems to be boycotted by AICN -
...the three piano movers I hired are here. :D
-
in a bad way
-
I just wanted to type that out
-
...Carrey will screech A DIT-DIT-DIT-DIT-DIT! A DIT-DIT-DIT-DIT-DIT!
-
http://l.yimg.com/a/i/mo/news_threestooges.jpg
-
Stupid talk back quirks.
-
He can go ballistic on Larry and Curly for trashing his scene.
-
wait that came out wrong
-
Del Toro and Carrey are well over six feet tall, while Penn is about 5'8". The Stooges were about 5' four. And the original Stooges practiced their schtick before live audiences for a decade before they got good at it.
-
it'll be a fucking miracle.
-
I'm all for some good slapstick and the old ultraviolence as humor. But why not make something totally original or in the style of the Stooges rather than try to recreate the characters. Heck, the Fat Boys managed a decent movie in the style of the Stooges without using the name. Why can't these guys?
-
IMDB has him listed as Moe.
-
Sean Penn hasn't been slapped nearly enough in his life.
-
this is probably the most surreal movies news I've heard in a while

-
I exaggerate, but not much.
-
Perfect casting? Please explain.
-
Being Larry? I guess not big enough name? I mean he looks just like him.
-
Though Del Toro can look like Moe, can he sound like him? And though Carrey is manic enough to play Curly, i can't see him looking enough like him to be satisfying.
-
this sounds way outta left field. C'mon, Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, and Jim Carrey? Directed by the Farrelly Brothers? In a movie about the Three Stooges? Horseshit!
-
It's not like - "we should remake this to introduce a new generation to this great story". It was the Stooges themselves that were brilliant. There's no point to have three new guys pretend to be the stooges. Anyone remember Curly Joe for shit's sake?
-
I've never seen him act without it.
-
Where he should be English, I believe.
-
"han me da keys ya cogsaga"

-
Why are the AICN talkbacks filled with ignorant, ill informed Conservative cunts that can't seem to wait until anything vaguely resembling Liberal related news appears, just so they can waste their time and our oxygen bitching and whining. Guess what, you ruled the world for 8 years and you fucked it up! Shut up, put yer dick back in yer cousin's ass and leave the world alone, yer bunch of fuckwits. Penn was Jeff Spicoli. You people are nothing. ;)
-
But one remembers "Brain Donors". That should not have worked, either. And yet it did. As a matter of fact, "Brain Donors" is my favorite Marxist movie. :o)
But Sean Penn is still a gloomy and depressing casting concept.
-
Who cares about this? (Outside the US that would be....uhm...zero people)
-
Gotta save those for the direct to DVD sequel.
-
C'mon you know it's true.
-
anyone else other than jim carrey = not possible
-
And with that cast that'd actually be kinda awesome. Carey as Hawkeye? Anyways this is infinitely more weird...

-
When will Hollywood start getting original ideas and stop butt fucking all the things I like about my childhood. Watching those shorts with my Dad was something I didn't think Hollywood could ruin, but they will
-
How does anyone ever convince themselves projects like this will succeed? Are there large amounts of drugs involved or something?
-
that they'll be some superficial resemblance to the original in order to cash in on the name recognition of the original. The feeling, the look, the spirit, the timing, the subject matter and the humor (if any) of the movie will be different. There will also be obligatory sex and drug references which will scream--not the Three Stooges.

They should get that gay fat guy from Borat - he is PERFECT!

they were brothers! Penn is great as Larry, too! You imbeciles! Just be careful the back end of the broom your using doesn't hit Moe in the eye accidentally! he'll make you pay - even though it was an innocent accident!

by lanemyersclassic
Thanks!
-
I wouldn't buy this story with YOUR money. This is just silly.
-
... (Were they even orphans? Hell, I don't know?) They meet Curly there? Did that actually happen? And the whole think will be shot with kid body doubles with that creepy digitally de-aged head digitally pasted onto the kid body double effect from Benji Button? Yeah. (Digitally inserted sarcasm) That'll be juuust great.
-
Sean Penn was serious Larry with glasses in that awful do. I think Penn is a jerk, but would make a perfect Larry. Jack Black is also on my least favorite actor list, but would be a perfect Shemp. Curly Joe and Joe: the last two, and least popular Stooges so it really doesn't matter.
-
Carlito's Way was mentioned in the first paragraph.
-
After getting screwed out of the Best Actor Oscar for "The Wrestler", the least that Sean Penn can do for Mickey is help him get the role of Shemp in this movie.
-
Sean Penn got screwed out of nothing. He's a sour, grumpy, droop-faced cunt. The feces of Joe Derita has more talent.
-
hilarious
-
end up in the hospital first. I see a lot of injuries coming from this movie shoot. It won't be pretty. As for the casting the only one I wonder about is Carey. Will be interesting to see him pull this off.
-
Curlier?
-
Curlierer??
-
Jack Black would have been perfect for Curly, and he wouldn't have had to gain any weight. He would just have to shave his head. Jim Carrey is so overrated, and his recent work as been crap. Ever since he started fucking Jenny McCartney, Carrey's career has gone to Hell. He needs to bump her so he can go back to being funny again.
-
Seriously, man.
-
WTFWTF??? I mean, I try not to get too judgemental this early in the film process, but I just can't see this one. Carey and Del Toro would probably do a good job because they could disappear into the roles, but it's still a stretch.

needs to poke the Farrellys in the eyes!
-
I am so there.
-
Shemp?
-
He was a freaking opera singer....who can do that role?....noone.
If they could,it would be oscar worthy.
Curly was genius. -
I'm not sure this can work, but Del toro might give the F bros a shot at success. They should bring in Mel Gibson for a cameo as Schemp!
-
sean penn's face looks as though someone grabbed it and just started squeezing, and squeezing. maybe it's just that arrogant look on his face. i do, however, have to agree with the guy that was praising "i am sam" as the comedic masterpiece it truly was. history will one day place that flick in the hallowed halls of comedy alongside the likes of "life goes on", "pumpkin", and some garth brooks video featuring a "comedian" running a marathon in front of a fire (i shit you not).

Than one of Angelina Jolie's starving adopted children sucks on her lovely teat.
-
penn, carrey and del toro? the movie could be about snail racing, or something else boring, and i'll still be there opening night.
-
is because he plays 1 character in every movie he's ever been in, and the ones he tries something else he ends up being a stale nobody.
-
Is not right at all. What the fat fuck are you smoking.

With all the outrage of Penn and Del Toro playing legendary comidians like the Stooges do you all even remember Downey Jr. in Chaplain? He was a unfunny actor playing one of the greatest comidians ever.
Also..James Gandofini should play Curly. He has done Broadway I believe and some comedic roles. Michael Chiklas was a dramatic actor and played Curly well. I fear Carrey will be too over the top and campy.
Oh and this should be a biopic (even though there was one already). Recreating the Stooges for an entire movie is just wrong. -
I think i would like that better...
-
Hollywood needs to stop shitting on its properties. If this gets made its going to bomb and be another huge turd to flush down the toilet of our collective memories.
-
When the FUCK has he ever been funny? Everytime I see his mug I think he looks over-serious.
-
Larry, Moe and Curly weren’t just guys who played characters called ‘the Stooges’, they WERE the Stooges in a way that no one else can imitate in my opinion. It’s not at all like, say, someone portraying Lincoln who happened to look and sound a certain way but otherwise acted like any man might; every nuance of movement, vocal inflection, and facial expression by the Stooges came from a place in them that set them apart from anyone else. I will be shocked if they can recapture their essence convincingly.
-
over this steaming pile. Really..who the FUCK is green lighting this shit down there in Hollywood. Remakes, remakes of remakes, and now a high dollar film, about an admittedly iconic comedy troupe, that sadly damned few people outside of film buffs and comedians even remembers? The Three Stooges?! Really. Sean Penn? You are fucking kidding..right? Oh...Yeah..this will really pack in the 18-45 male demo that drives the typical $150+M project. If this mess even gets made..this thing will flop like a goldfish dropped on a hot skillet...The guys who made Heavens Gate and Ishtar will thank you though...it'll finally get their names off the Wiki.
-
He's the right size already
-
...he's not funny. I haven't seen any evidence of comic timing. And the Farrellys' haven't done anything good since their mid-90's trifecta of Dumb & Dumber, Kingpin and There's Something About Mary. Since then, one turd after another.
-
I hated him in King Kong, stupid choice. Mickey has the face to play Shemp but that's it.
Something people are saying that is so true is the Stooges knew each other and worked out the bugs for years. Are these actors willing to go through all that. Actually get slapped in the face a thousand times...I don't think so.
The Stooges evolved into the famous act we all know today. You just can't throw some actors together and expect it to be close to the original. I'll check it out, but not sure how this will turn out. Carrey needs to go.
-
This is going to be something else or not.

can't wait for that. They're rewriting some of the white characters for Will Smith and Sam Jackson. Hurlbut is the DP.
-
Go for Fat Fuck Frank from that John Waters movie for Curly. Or James Gandolfini. He knows a thing or two about getting whacked.
-
Sean Penn is one of the least funny men on the planet and Benecio Del Toro is not far behind. I'm sure Jim Carrey can do a great vocal impression of Curly but no matter how much weight he puts on he does not resemble him at all. Artie Lange would make a much better Curly, with Bababooey in a guest appearance as Shemp. Hard to believe that the Farrelly Bros. are in charge of this.
-
How hip and cool to say the only comedic actor in the bunch isn't fit to be in a comedy. Edgy. This movie will be a disaster along the lines of Popeye.

I'll be shocked if any footage ever actually gets filmed of Carrey, Del Toro and Penn as the Stooges. Just too bizarre to ever really happen...
-
this is a self poisoning system.
don't do it -
John Turturro as Shemp. He's so over the top when he's doing comedy.
-
Mariah Carry, Penn Jillette and the Del Taco dog?
-
You know the Farellys didn't do American Pie, right?
