Peter and Bobby Farrelly have finally found a home for their long-proposed remake of a comedy classic. According to
Variety, MGM has given the Farrelly Brothers the green light for their long-proposed remake of
The Three Stooges.
The brothers had tried to set up the remake at Warner Brothers for the last five years with little progress made. It seems the film will be fast-tracked as well, with MGM setting a November 20, 2009 release date for the film.
The Farrelly's will direct the film and, while no casting has been announced, Bobby Farrelly had
previously stated they were "thinking of someone like a Benecio del Toro, or a Russell Crowe" for the role of Moe.

Neuck yuk yuk yuk!
but a slapstick shitfest directed by the farrellys about three guys imitating the three stooges will be a waste of time, i agree.
Replacing comedians in classic roles just never works. They tried it with Dumb and Dumber, the Mask, The Blues Brothers and a few others and they all bombed. What next??? Abbott and Costello? The Marx Brothers? Laurel and Hardy? Forget it man.... they will NEVER be outdone.
This is a horrible, horrible, idea.
ah well.
