Go ahead, yuk it up.
Actor Paul Giamatti has signed on to replace Sean Penn as Larry in the Farrelly brothers' new movie version of “The Three Stooges."
Penn dropped out of the film earlier in the year citing personal reasons. Director Peter Farrelly recently confirmed that Giamatti had assumed Penn's role. Giamatti will join Benecio Del Toro, who will play Moe, and a yet-to-be-cast Curly.
There were reports that Jim Carey was set to play Curly, and the actor's appears on the Internet Movie Database alongside that role. He was even said to be gaining weight in preparation for the part. But Peter Farrelly told the Boston Globe last week that Carey was not involved in the project.
"The Three Stooges" is slated for release sometime in late 2010.
Oh man! I would have loved to have seen it. Maybe I can get the DVD version. Thanks for the tip.
