MGM seems to have found its trio of actors for a long-awaited remake. According to
Variety, Sean Penn has signed on to play Larry in
The Three Stooges remake. The studio is also entering negotiations with Jim Carrey to portray Curly and Benecio del Toro to play Moe.
It was said that Carrey is already prepping for the role and planning to gain 40 pounds to portray Jerome "Curly" Howard. The Farrelly Brothers are directing and the film was said not to be a biopic of the trio, but rather a comedy revolving around the zany antics that Howard, Larry Fine and Moe Howard displayed in the classic short films of the 30s and 40s.
Production will begin sometime in the fall for a 2010 release.

1.The bible mentions unicorns, satyrs, cockatrices and a race of Giants. The bible talks about these mythical creatures not in the mythical sense, but in the real sense, mentioning them right alongside real animals. That's really childish.
2.Jesus driving pigs into the sea, after infecting them with "demons"... really, really dumb. How could these devils be killed this way? Why would such a dramatic production be necessary
3.The early Christian Church practiced a form of communism. People joining the Church were required to give all of their possessions to Church leaders. If they failed to do this, and kept some back for themselves, they would be murdered. This is documented in Acts of the Apostles.
idk i think this cast is kinda too unique of choices to pass any sort of actually judgment on until i see them in the roles.
complete side not, i noticed in ur profile ur into comics, which is y i tried to friend request ya.
and yeah it sucks that Wolfman got delayed a few months, i was lookin forward to seein it sooner.
and i think u missed my point on the bible thing, my point is that this country isn't supposed to make decisions based on any one religion cuz this is a country for anyone and everyone, not just one religion. just saying, but i'm gunna be done with this now cuz it is way off topic.
and my new opinion on all these remakes is that no matter wut we do we won't be able to stop them from bein made, so i just hope that they at least get made with some dignity, which is Penn, Carrey and del Toro i think it will at least be a respectable remake. but again yeah those actors aside from Carrey, won't be back for any sequels. so that sucks
il reserve judgment for the time being.
I want the film industry to take more chances on uncharted themes and storylines like some of the films you have mentioned. Children of Men is definitely in my top 5 films.
Does the world really need a re-imagining (christ, I hate that term) of the three stooges?
There are TONS of original screenplays and original movies it's just the big budget adaptations and remakes already have a set fanbase so naturally they get more news coverage. You just have to know where to look when it comes to original movies.
EVERY film that comes out these days seems to be a remake, a sequal, an adaptation of a cartoon, comic, graphic novel or book.
Can we have some original screenplays please?
It's just lazy.
Thanks for the insight.
P.s. your still an asshole.
Penn??... Im still scratching my head at that one..
