del Toro is Moe, Penn could do Larry, but please don’t let Carrey be Curley!
THR.com is reporting that the Farrely brothers (There’s Something about Mary, Dumb & Dumber) are directing “The Three Stooges,” scheduled for release in 2010.
Casting is rumored to be as thus:
Moe: Benicio del Toro
Larry: Sean Penn
Curley (the fat bald one): Jim Carrey – at least he is in talks to play Curley
Surprisingly, I think that Penn and del Toro can pull it off. Carrey on the other hand is no Curley.
If it were me, I would cast Don Rickles, if he is up for it. Maybe an unknown could be found.
I like Jim Carrey, I just think there is too much Jim Carrey in him to portray Curley.
