MGM decided to finally get their little ducks in a row and are going full steam ahead with their latest upcoming film, The Three Stooges. The famed trio, recently announced, will be Sean Penn (Milk), Benicio Del Toro (Che) and Jim Carrey (Yes Man). Despite what you all are thinking right now, no it is not a biopic, I’m sorry to disappoint. The story will be set in modern times, still maintaining the typical Stooges slapstick comedy.
Penn, Carrey and Del Toro?
For those of you who did not know, there was actually a biopic for the Stooges made for TV revolving around Moe, the leader of the group, back in 2000.
Bob and Peter Farrelly (The Heartbreak Kid) will be producing, writing and directing the latest comedy coming from their great arsenal of films. Originally the film was due to be four separate short flicks, but putting it together for the big screen means they’ll have to squeeze the four into one for us all to see. Within the story, there is rumor that one scene will have to do with them being in an orphanage when they were kids (special effects for this scene?). The rumored release date is November 20th but that is subject to change depending on what all sorts of happenings go on with the MGM flick.
