A new 3 Stooges movie

[NJmaverick]

Here is the projected cast

MGM and the Farrelly brothers are finally slapping together their high-profile cast for "The Three Stooges," a comedy project the filmmakers have been developing for years. Sean Penn is set to play Larry, and Jim Carrey is in negotiations to play Curly. Benicio del Toro is a rumored possibility for the brothers' taciturn leader, Moe.

What 3 stars would you have picked?

2. Benicio Del Che? Cool. Make him Curly; shave the head and all.

23. Put em all together and you got The Six Stooges

:applause:

And they'd all be brilliant.

[geardaddy]

24. yep.

I'd love to see Gary Oldman play Moe.

:scared:

4. hm

I kinda like Penn as Larry
Jack Black as Curly
Robert DeNiro as Moe

[geardaddy]

5. It's doomed to fail.

but here are my picks for cast if I had to choose:

Moe: Dick Cheney
Larry: Joe Lieberman
Curly: Dennis Hastert
Shemp (if they decide to go that way): Duke Cunningham

6. Do Not Want.....

7. No kidding. People still get cranky about Joe Besser 60 years later.

Hell, some people I know get cranked about Shemp (though he was there first).

Three whole new stooges? WTF?

[geardaddy]

8. I love Shemp

:D

But I love Curly too.

9. Sasha Cohen for Larry!

Jack Black as Curly and Carrey for Moe...

[pdx_prog]

10. Scratch that....Adam Sandler for Moe!....eom

11. It begs the question WHY?

What a stupid idea. The Three Stooges ARE the Three Stooges. It's as dumb as recreating the Rat Pack. Oh, that's right, they've already done that!

[Javaman]

14. Because they can and that's why there should be open season on

stupid producers.

[Brother Buzz]

12. If this is a real big budget movie and all that...

they got to work Shemp into the flick. He was there at the beginning, and he filled in after his younger brother died, plus Shemp was the most complicated character and gave us the very sophisticated comedy. We need to demand Shemp be written into the script.

[Orrex]

19. Seconded

It would be akin to leaving out Zeppo and Gummo.


Here's to Shemp!
:toast:

[dembotoz]

13. bush, chenny and pallin

just to see them hit each other with stuff.
no stunt doubles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NJmaverick]

15. Which one plays which character?

[livetohike]

17. Thanks for the laugh!

:rofl:

[livetohike]

18. Robin Williams, Bill Murray and Chevy Chase

I'm not sure who should be who though.

[cloudbase]

20. If somebody in Hollywood were to ever be struck

by an original idea, it would be considered an industrial accident. Hell, they should make a movie about an architect and a talking horse. Now that would be funny.

[Symarip]

21. John Holmes, Herve Villachez, Gallagher

The dream team.

[geardaddy]

22. Win

:thumbsup:

[rurallib]

30. Gary Coleman instead of Holmes.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

25. That is historically bad casting. That's John Wayne-as-Genghis Khan bad.

Besides, they did a TV movie a few years ago that was pretty good. Michael Chiklis was Curly, one of the supporting actors from NYPD Blue was Moe.

[Kat45]

26. Don't like it. Particularly don't see Jim Carrey as Curly.

Too tall and skinny.

[underpants]

28. Penn and Carrey??? oh that is going to be awesome

[rug]

29. Screw Curly, who's playing Shemp?

[Brother Buzz]

31. Robin Williams

After his heart repair, he might just be able to slow down enough to nail the real Shemp. I believe there is a very convincing Shemp inside of Robin's head, problem is Robin has been doing it at 78 rpm's his whole life instead of a comfortable 33 1/3 LP.
