How Did This Happen Exactly?

Did The Farrelly Brothers spend a weekend freebasing the wrong shit in a Tijuana motel room while casting The Three Stooges movie?! Because I'm trying to wrap all my body parts around this mess and it's still not computing. Control + Alt + Try again. I mean, Sean Penn as Larry, Benicio Del Toro as Moe and Jim Carrey as Curly? It looks like we've got all the ingredients for a big fat bowl of FAIL.

I could kind of see this if it was going to be some kind of dramatic biopic about their lives, but Variety says it's all comedy. The Farrelly Brothers will start shooting this when they finish the soon-to-be epic masterpiece Walter the Farting Dog with the Jonas Brothers. Fuck, the farting dog and two of the Jonas twinks would make more sense as The Three Stooges.

Jim Carrey will leave his fat suit in the car, because he's planning on adding 40 pounds of 100% chunk to his body before filming. He should just follow Kirstie Alley around for a couple of days. Kristie has Bisquick batter coming out of her shower head. He'd be Fat Fuck Jim in no time.

Does Sean even have the funny in his system anymore? I think the coke particles desecrated that shit a while ago.

I hope that in the new version, Moe is just getting back from a decade long sabbatical where he somehow magically turned into a Puerto Rican dude with permanent hangover face.

And you know Blohan is fuming over this! This is the project Sean promised they would do with Seth Rogen. Again, those three twats would make more sense than this cast.

Really liked the Stooges but REALLY LOVED and still do, Little Rascals.

Woooorrrrd AGAIN, there Zappy!

Little Rascals and Our Gang (I think Our Gang was pre-Rascals?).
Awesomeness.

I'm a female and I LOVED the early Stooges! After Shemp they sucked, too old and not an ounce of chemistry. Disorder in the Court has GOT to be one of the all time funniest bits EVER.

I liked them growing up. Who's playing Shemp?

Benicio Del Toro was on a show here in uk jonathon ross rubbish show anyway most entertaining part was Benicio fidgeting constantly, not being able to keep still at all. even jonathon was looking at him as if to say KEEP STILL. think he needed more of whatever hes on (or less)

Again MK, again, with the bad fucking news about the remakes. I cant take it anymore, Im gonna freak out on someone, Im scared I might jump on a plane and go shoot up Hollywood.

I saw a Stooges movie with Michael Chiklis as Curly. He was awesome.
They better not butcher that shit, cuz I LOVED the Stooges growing up, and even now. Curly and Shemp rocked! The rest of the successors needed not apply, they fell so tragically short.

My dad and his pop liked the Stooges. He says they watched it together.

Was just reading about Curly and he was the most popular Stooge. His spinning around on the floor bit was often done because he couldn't remember his lines, so he would spin around til he could remember them. When they made the movies, they gave him room to improvise. He was called a comic genius. And he never had formal training, he was a natural. He was 48 when he died.

I love Curly.

They can never recreate the Three Stooges (Remakes make me bitchy). That is a bygone era and the movie won't mean anything to anyone but people who grew up with it and loved it.

I have to agree Topanga, the Stooges were definitely not funny. I have never had any idea who exactly they appealed to, certainly not an adult.

It appeals to men age 5-95! Of course you bitches don't get it, i mean i dont get ironing but women seem to love it...nyuck nyuck nyuck

Sounds like that movie Fat Hogs or whatever, you know that one with John Travolta and the kryptonite of comedy Martin Lawrence where they rode around on motorcycles. This is destined for a MASSIVE FAIL. How tragic is this shit!? Benicio Del Toro should know better, him and Sean Penn both, because those bitches are Oscar material and there's no reason to do this shit because most guys find The Three Stooges funny (while most women hate that shit!)...

As for this 3 Stooges fuckery, it's got f-l-o-p written all over it. I've read where Sean Penn wants to do comedy again, but this?

I can see the casting. As much as it hurt my brain at first, I can see it. They're three great actors as well so they bring quite a lot to the table. However, if the script is slapped together or a piece of shit, this will tank so hard.

Ok I CAN see Jim Carrey in this. That makes sense. The rest I don't think so.

Madam Pince's picture

The last time I heard about this project (a couple of years ago), the Farrellys were trying to get Russell Crowe for this -- not sure which Stooge, but he definitely wanted in. At least he has the build for a Stooge.

This shit is gonna go straight to DVD. Trust.

I have to agree Topanga, the Stooges were definitely not funny. I have never had any idea who exactly they appealed to, certainly not an adult. On the other hand, Lucy Ball appealed to everybody. The woman was brilliant and so was Desi the Straight Man!!

When I first heard of this casting this morning, I was thinking they were going to do a drama about Larry, Curly and Moe and their real lives. That would be an interesting story since they were not happy people. I just don't see how these three can be comical (except for Carrey and even he is not as funny a he used to be).

IMDB.com Pro had it listed that Johnny Depp was in talks to play Moe. I blogged a few days ago about controversial up coming films in development. This was one of them.

@ Miss Thang

I had a big love for Curly (always went for the fellas that I perceived no one else wanted, they were easier to get).

The real Curly was a master at his work. Unfortunately, he had been married three times by the age of 42 and ultimately died from a stroke caused by all the bonks on his head.

@TOPENGA
Sounds exactly like the stuff Jim Carrey thinks is Hi-larious. All they need to do is add a couple fart jokes and a bathroom stall noises scene and they're set.

Sean Penn is an ugly grumpy SOB that should grab a surf board and jump in the ocean when the sharks are out.

i actually think sean penn looks a bit like larry, def. has the nose for it. I kinda thought if hollywood would do a 3 stooges movie they'd have jonny knoxville and friends and really hit themselves in the face with shit

what a random ass line-up... but i suppose it's gotta be tough to really screw up the Stooges. Jim's got the physical comedy down, but del Toro still scares me:S

First of all I never found the orginal Three Stooges funy or comedic in any sort of way..and no its not because its an ancient show..they're are plenty of old timey shows that I find hilarious...like "I Love Lucy" (and I dare those Hollywood whore to try butchering that show and I will seriously pull a Pearl Harbor on that whole town!!)..but I never found anything funny about three idiots hitting each other, pretending to poke each other in the eye and just being straight up stupid..then again sounds like all the other sh** comedies Hollywood is producing right now, so whatever.
