The Three Stooges movie had a dream cast but it seemed to go away when the director woke up. What was supposed to be Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro and Jim Carrey really now consists of Benicio.
But Jim Carrey was a rumour, and Sean Penn walked. But that didn’t doom the project. Paul Giamatti is our new Larry.
Boston.com shares:
Peter Farrelly told us that Paul Giamatti has signed on to replace Sean Penn as Larry. (Penn dropped out, citing “personal reasons.”) Giamatti, who was note-perfect as Harvey Pekar in “American Splendor,” was nominated for an Oscar for his role in “Cinderella Man” and won raves as “John Adams.”
I really like Giamatti. I think that he would make a great Larry and dare I say he would be far better than Penn in the role so I am fully for this.
I am still curious to see how they play out a Three Stooges movie, but at least the casting is shaping up.
But who will be Moe?
