Justin Timberlake being considered for Larry in The Three Stooges
Directors Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly recently revealed that all three actors are contenders along with Woody Harrelson and Larry David to play Larry and Hank Azaria for Moe. Several unknown actors are also being sought out for the Curly role.
Johnny Knoxville had previously been mentioned as a contender, along with Andy Samberg. Cher was also mentioned in that report, said to play a nun named Mother Superior.
Despite all these names being bandied about, Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly revealed they still haven't made a final decision on who will play Larry, Curly, and Moe yet, although we should know in the next few weeks. Here's what Bobby Farrelly had to say about the casting of The Three Stooges.
"We haven't cast it yet, we haven't picked anyone. It's a little tricky, right? Because they all have to be about the same age and even around the same height. We're waiting for that first person that we're going to say, 'This is going to be our Moe, Larry or Curly' and we'll build around that. But it's going to happen soon. It will be within three weeks."
We reported last week that the directors hope to start shooting by this spring. Bobby Farrelly also revealed recently that they plan to shoot The Three Stooges in Georgia.
"We need good weather, so we have to head south. And unfortunately for Massachusetts, Georgia has a better tax incentive and that's huge. We save millions by going down there and you just can't talk the studio out of it."
The Three Stooges was released April 13th, 2012 and stars Sean Hayes, Will Sasso, Chris Diamantopoulos, Jane Lynch, Sofía Vergara, Jennifer Hudson, Craig Bierko, Stephen Collins. The film is directed by Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly.

@bud2fresh you could care less? I've heard people say it like that before, is it an American thing to say "could care less" rather than "couldn't care less"?

@thaphoenix I agree he was bad in Alpha Dog, but is acting in The Social Network was solid. I also agree that he should put another album out.

@jptheredskull He was tragically bad in Alpha Dog - and critics agreed. Wooden and overwhelmingly over the top. He's OK at best; but I want him to do another damn album. That's the main reason I'm complaining. LOL. Maybe if he'd done a follow up to FSLS I wouldn't feel the need to be so harsh.
:D

F*ck this..... the whole idea is just mneeeeh...... very very small chance that they will actually pull this one off......... that's how great the originals are..... The Mime just thinks that it is one of those leave-it-alone kind of classic

This is a joke right? There was a television Bio done on these classic guys already. This does NOT need to be done. Besides I do not need to see one poking the eye of another in Color Widescreen in 3D. That's why they are known as B&W Classics. Justin? well that is funny aint it..

I love the stooges and want to see what comes out of this, I can't really see jt as larry but i'll wait and see. How can you say a movie is terrible before it's even in production sounds asinine to me.
