The Farrelly brothers are going to remake The Three Stooges

It's slapstick versus gross-out: the Farrelly brothers, directors of high-concept comedies such as Me, Myself and Irene and Stuck on You, are to take on a new big-screen outing for the Three Stooges.
The film-makers, who pushed the envelope of what was acceptably funny in the late 90s and early part of this decade, are now planning to bring Moe, Larry and Curly back to the silver screen, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Their planned feature will actually be a series of four 20-minute shorts, in tribute to the format of the original Stooges' outings. There are no casting details yet, but the brothers will be looking for actors who can pull off Moe's surly alpha male, Larry's humourous sidekick and Curly's clumsy ignoramus.
The first episode will set the Stooges as seven-year-olds terrorising an orphanage run by nuns, until they are finally kicked out and left to fend for themselves.
"The Three Stooges are a timeless staple of comedy," said Mary Parent, chair of studio MGM, which will back the feature. "And when we heard what the Farrellys had in mind, we knew it was time for Larry, Moe and Curly to return to the big screen."
The original Three Stooges were active between 1923 and 1975, undergoing several lineup changes along the way. They made more than 25 feature films. In 2000, Mel Gibson produced a TV biopic, The Three Stooges, based on Michael Fleming's authorised biography, The Three Stooges: From Amalgamated Morons to American Icons.

Bad idea. Three Stooges were slapstick, not grossout. They will go for more grossout, and fail.

I want to say Russell Crowe was set to play Moe at one point

the stooges were brilliant without dirty humor. no need to soil their legacy.

Pure slapstick doesn't work like it used to.
This is going to be a very very tall order for them to make a great film.
I would prefer a fictional biopic of the stooges that potentially has them behaving the same way in real life.

Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, and Seth Rogan would be great

I wouldn't even watch this on DVD out of respect for how great the Stooges were.

Is terrible. He overacts everything. It was funny at first, not anymore.

I would rather see a real biographic epic in the vein of Ray or Mr. Saturday Night or Walk the Line.
As far as casting goes, they need to cast great actors not comedians.
Curly: Bob Hoskins would be perfect but may be too old now.
Larry: David Paymer I think would be great in the Larry role.
Moe: Robert Downey Jr.

this could work - I'm not kidding.
Russell Crowe or Downey Jr. would be perfect for Moe. Maybe Malkovic as Larry (he'd need a wig) and jack black as curly.

The only way to make this really work is with good actors. These guys would turn it into a really bawdy joke that is unwatchable.

John Lovitz could also pull off Larry IMO. Not kidding.
