After what appeared to be a dream cast for a big screen adaptation for The Three Stooges all got tired of waiting and for one reason or another dropped the project, The Farrelly Brothers are still on the hunt for their Larry Curly and Moe and a casting call has gone out to find some unknowns to fill the roles.
CinemaBlend has the Casting descriptions:
MOE The unquestioned leader of the Three Stooges, Moe is a numbskull who barks orders and expects unquestioned obedience from his two hapless companions, Larry and Curly. STRONG VERBAL AND PHYSICAL COMEDY SKILLS REQUIRED – Age range early 30’s to early 40’s.
LARRY An imbecile with an eccentric fringe of pullable frizzy hair, Larry is the bird-brained member of The Three Stooges, a victim of Moe’s bullying and Curly’s effervescent insanity. STRONG VERBAL AND PHYSICAL COMEDY SKILLS REQUIRED – Age range early 30’s to early 40’s.
CURLY A chubby, bullet-headed idiot whose hair never grows more than an eighth of an inch, Curly is irrepressible, outgoing, unpredictable, and utterly chaotic. STRONG VERBAL AND PHYSICAL COMEDY SKILLS REQUIRED – Age range early 30’s to early 40s.
This is a total 180 from the route they were going before with clearly known actors (Jim Carrey, Paul Giamatti and Benico Del Toro) to then throw the net wide in open casting calls.
Auditions will begin in January for an ambitious March 14th filming schedule.
Also, I hate to have to say this as it seems obvious to everyone BUT the aspiring actor crowds out there… We are not at all involved in this casting and just sharing the news. Do not direct questions about the casting to any of the TMB staff, ask your agent.
