It has been highly talked about that Peter Farrelly (of the Farrelly brothers directing team) has been trying to create a film adaptation of the classic television show, ‘The Three Stooges.’ At a press conference for his latest film, The Heartbreak Kid, Farrelly told ComingSoon. net details about the long awaited film and if it’s indeed going to happen or not.
ComingSoon.net gives us this quote:
“It’s one of those things that’s just been tricky,” he said. “The studios all feel like women won’t go see it. I don’t agree. ‘Dumb and Dumber’ wasn’t a chick flick, but eventually women got in there. Also, they don’t think it’s going to be big overseas because no one knows of it, but again, nobody knew about ‘Dumb and Dumber.’ We are going to do it eventually.”
How can people overseas NOT know THE THREE STOOGES??! Honestly, why are studios holding back on this project? There are tons of television shows remade into movies all the time, and I have no idea why they would be holding back on a project that has both an old and young audience. (Jesus, it can’t be any worse than ‘Wild, Wild, West!’) Would you guys like to see Farrelly revamp the ‘Stooges?’
