Three Stooges News: Giamatti In, Carrey Out?
Peter and Bobby Farrelly's long-suffering project The Three Stooges has added and subtracted two more names to its cast, according to Boston.com, who caught up with Peter at a show at Fenway Park. Paul Giamatti, who can be seen on a limited number of arthouse screens in the wonderful new movie Cold Souls, will be taking on the role of Larry, the curly-haired comedian of the trio. (Oscar-winner Sean Penn ducked out of both The Three Stooges and Cartel earlier this summer.) Beleagured Wolf Man Benecio Del Toro is still on board to play slap-happy Moe, but Curly remains a mystery. According to Peter, who was trying to watch Paul McCartney while the reporter sussed out this info, the rumors that Jim Carrey will be playing the big-mouthed baldie are incorrect.So who is willing to take the significant amount of Stooge abuse in the trio? Personally, I nominate Shia LaBeouf. Because someone needs a few noogies after Transformers 2.
If you're dying to participate in your own Stooge-y slapfight, you can download the iStooges app to your iPhone and n'yuck to your heart's delight. See a video demo after the jump.

After seeing Tropical Thunder, one choice for Curly could be Tom Cruise. (Or, there's always the possibility of Jeremy Piven)
It might sound weird, but I think it would be cool to see John C. Reilly as Larry and Jason Statham as Moe!

For fans of the Stooges: "Dancing with the Stars" host Tom Bergeron interviewed Moe and Larry in the early 70's (when he was 17) and Sirius/XM recently used the tapes in a Stooges special on the Howard Stern Channel. A bit tough to listen to (Moe is somewhat bitter about how all the financials worked out and Larry speaks a bit slurred due to a stroke) but very fascinating stuff.
One tidbit: It's NOT slapstick. It's farce!

Actually, if you think about it, Giamatti could play any one of them. Maybe they should dump DelToro and have him pull a Peter Sellers for the movie.
