‘The Three Stooges,’ From The Farrelly Brothers, Hits In April 2012
I’m very curious to see whatPeter and Bobby Farrellyhave done withThe Three Stooges, which is a film they’ve wanted to make for years, and eventually shot early this year in Atlanta withSean Hayesas Larry,Chris Diamantopoulosas Moe, andWill Sassoas Curly. Have they come up with something that will have any of the iconic comic appeal of the original Stooges? That seems impossible, given the fact that they’re making this film in a totally different comedy landscape. Turns out that we’ll find out what they’ve done with it in April of next year.
As to insight about what the film might offer, a few Atlanta crewmembers told tales of really huge, outrageous slapstick setpieces being constructed, and that’s pretty appealing. So the key withThe Three Stoogesmight be to watch it just for that aspect, assuming the vague stuff I was told pans out, rather than as a revival of the classic characters. Regardless, we’ll find out what the deal is with the film on June 25, 2025. We haven’t even seen an official image of the cast yet, much less a trailer, but rest assured that as soon as anything is available we’ll toss it your way.
The film co-starsJane Lynch,Jennifer Hudson,Sophia Vergara,Criag Bierko,Stephen CollinsandLarry David. In talking about the release date,THRmentions that the film will follow the Stooges as “they attempt to save their childhood home, but accidentally become involved in a murder plot and in a modern-day twist will end up starring in a reality TV show.” Yeah, so that last aspect is really not all that appealing, but we’ll try to stay positive.
