"The Three Stooges", ANOTHER unoriginal idea

[Aggie]

Guess who will be playing Larry? The most un-funny man in America.

Sean Penn - Larry

Jim Carrey - Curly (in negotiations)

Benicio Del Toro - Moe (has not signed on yet but they want him)

I was never a huge fan but I know tons of guys who are. Is this blashemy?

I remember there as a made for TV movie and Chiklis played Curly and was supposed to be great. Do we really need another one?

its offical.. nothing is sacred... :wallbash:

[hammersavage]

This sounds completely unreal. Someone somewhere is lying.

And Fez should play the Mo.

[TheMojoPin]

Unfunniest man in America?!?

[King Hippos Bandaid]

the real 3 stooges are the writer, director and producer of this awful crap

[KingGeno]

3 Stooges are sacred to me. I still watch them.

I hope this movie dies of fuck somehow.

OK, ONE funny role. Other than that, he can suck it. :thumbdown:

Is this blashemy?

Yes it is blasphemy, but for some reason I can't stop laughing.

[TheMojoPin]

Why are people so pissed off about this? It's not like they're remaking old Stooges films. It's a biopic. They have a pretty interesting story and they're getting top shelf actors. What's the problem?

I was thinking the same thing.

The article says specifically that ...

"The film is not a biopic, but rather a comedy built around the antics of the three characters that Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Howard played in the Columbia Pictures shorts."

Even so, I will keep an open mind about the project. There have been a number of films about the Stooges over the years but this one has enough big names involved to make me think it might be done right.

NEVER GO FULL RETARD!

NEVER GO FULL RETARD!

In my defense, she was really purty.

[Contra]

Sure no one cares that mcGuyver is coming out of retirement, but everybody is up in arms about a stooges rehash!

Seriously though, this is horrible.

[TheGameHHH]

call me crazy, but I think Del Torro can pull Moe off quite well actually.

[torker]

Jamie Foxx would make an awesome Shemp.

[GreatAmericanZero]

sean penn was very good in the woody allen film "sweet & lowdown" which proved he has good comedic chops but i just don't see how a 3 stooges movie can be relevant today

[DarkHippie]

How can they use that bunch of goyim to play three really jewwy jews?

[GreatAmericanZero]

How can they use that bunch of goyim to play three really jewwy jews?

its like when black people played the honeymooners.

[Contra]

Nice GAZ

[santino]

whether it's done well or not, i just don't have any interest in seeing this movie. i love the stooges, but don't really care about their story. i also think that they're so recognizable to me that seeing someone else play them would take me right out of it.

[GreatAmericanZero]

if they announced a Farrelly's brother comedy starring Benicio Del Torro, Sean Penn and Jim Carrey and it was just about 3 assholes i'd be way interested in this movie. but remakes are gay

[Slumbag]

Farrelly Bros. are doing this shit?
I guess it's better than the Farting Dog movie they wanted to make with the Jonas Bros.

[KingGeno]

I've thought about it more. I love the Three Stooges. I watched more Three Stooges over cartoons I think. I was an addict.

I am happy that there are people out there that would like to bring them back into the limelight. They deserve it. They are still on syndicated tv every week.

AMC made a pretty good TV movie a few years ago. It was kind of inaccurate, but was close enough. Michael Chiklis played a good Curly. Some clips of it are on Youtube.

I just don't get the casting. It's gonna have to be a pretty drastic change for del toro and penn.

[Contra]

If del Toro can say "get out of the truck you cocksucker" in an American accent he should be fine.




Oh wait...

[John Galt]

I would have high hopes, but it is the Farrelly Brothers....who basically tanked after Dumb and Dumber.

What?
Kingpin AND Something About Mary came out after Dumb and Dumber.
Mary is without question there greatest work.

[hammersavage]

I disagree. I think Mary gets worse each additional viewing. Loved it at the time, never keep it on the TV. Dumb and Dumber is the hardest I've ever heard a theater laugh (the snowball scene) so I'd say that.

[led37zep]

it will be fixed when fez becomes an admin and bans everyone.

Fixed it for you

[TheMojoPin]

You're both wrong. Kingpin is the only one that still holds up pretty much just because of Bill Murray.

[Gerald]

I wish Sam Raimi were doing it instead. He's a Stooge disciple who would bring a lot more visual flair. When the Farrellys are on top of their game (D&D, Kingpin, Mary, the underrated Stuck on You) they're as good as anybody at extracting laughs from a situation but when they're off (Me, Myself & Irene, Shallow Hal, Fever Pitch, The Heartbreak Kid) it's not a pretty sight to behold. However this project has been kicked around their office for a long time now so it's reassuring to know it's not something they're rushing into.

[TheMojoPin]

How are the going to uncomfortably shoehorn mentally retarded "actors" and characters into this one?

[Dude!]

when they re-made the Little Rascals
as a movie in the 90's
it blew

they asked the director
of the original series
(i think his name was hal roach?)
why the new movie did not even
come close to the old series

and he said
"they just don't make kids like that any more"

similar situation here
don't try to re-create the stooges
or the honeymooners
or even king kong

it's gonna blow

Larry looks like he has aids, Moe has a spray on tan, but Curly looks very good

[pennington]

There are some interesting cast members (Sofia Vergara, Larry David as Sister Mary-Mengele). Fortunately, the Jersey Shore group is just a cameo.

From Wikipedia:

Chris Diamantopoulos as Moe Howard

Sean Hayes as Larry Fine

Will Sasso as Curly Howard

Jane Lynch as Mother Superior, a nun who runs the orphanage the trio grew up in

Larry David as Sister Mary-Mengele, a nun who runs the orphanage

Sofía Vergara as Lydia

Jennifer Hudson as Sister Rosemary

Lin Shaye as Nursery Nurse

Stephen Collins as Mr. Harter, the trio's adopted father

Carly Craig as Mrs. Harter, the trio's adopted mother

Craig Bierko as Mac, "one of the heavies trying to exploit the Stooges"

Kirby Heyborne as Teddy

Dwight Howard as Himself

Kate Upton as Sister Bernice

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi as Herself
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino as Himself
Jennifer "JWoww" Farley as Herself
Ronnie Ortiz-Magro as Himself

[Furtherman]

This will be remembered as the trailer with the hottest nun ever.

I think this is going to be a box office failure, but the DVD and on-demand business is going to be a big deal.

Also, if you have cable, check to make sure your provider doesn't have Me-Too (A Wiegel-owned station out of Chicago) shows a rather large programming block of The Three Stooges every Saturday night. Rich Koz (legendary Son of Svenghoolie host and frequent Wrestling Observer contributor) hosts filling the viewer in with various facts about each short being presented. This is a plus and a minus, actually. Often Koz is explaining how they had to get stand-ins for Curly during the short because he had died before production ended or how they had Curly on set but he had no actual spoken lines in the short because he was unable to talk at the time. Or that Shemp busted his sternum falling off of a table making this short and that the proceeding scenes are featuring either a double or Shemp in a body cast not moving. The trivia can really kill the joy of watching Stooge-A-Palooza.

Actually, it does look amusing. I'll see it.

Farrelly Brothers? Wow, I didn't recognize Sean Hayes as Larry. I hadn't even heard they were doing this movie... I guess I am way out of the movie loops.
