I realize this story may wind up being nothing more than a silly rumor, but it’s too tempting to resist. From La-La-Land comes news that MGM and the Farrelly brothers (Dumb and Dumber) are teaming up for a full-length feature update of the classic “Three Stooges” comedy shorts.
Rumored casting for the lead roles includes Jim Carrey as Curly (I would have preferred Michael Moore), Benicio del Toro as Moe and none other than the right’s favorite Stooge Sean Penn as Larry. Please feel free to insert any other del Toro-and-Penn-are-real-life-stooges jokes here…
But admittedly – I think these casting choices are inspired, and would be mildly curious to see the finished product if it ends up with these three in the roles. But I think it should be told as a biopic as opposed to “a fictional treatment that maintains the Stooges' gleeful slap schtick updated for a modern milieu.”
Nyuk-nyuk-nyuk indeed.
