The Boston Herald says Timberlake’s name is just one of those being considered by Peter and Bobby Farrelly for their renewed attempt at a Three Stooges movie. Other contenders for the Larry role are said to include Woody Harrelson and Larry David, of all people. Johnny Knoxville and Hank Azaria are supposed to be up for Moe, and Will Sasso is competing with a host of unknowns for the part of Curly.
I hate when movies that have my interest are around this stage of production where names of cast and crew are thrown around as if they’re apples in a lunchroom food fight. Can Justin Timberlake really be considered for this role? I haven’t seen enough of performances to be a good judge. Some of the other casting ideas are interesting. I think Woody Harrelson is an interesting person to consider, but he has this thing about not doing sequels that probably could eliminate him from the runnings as something that might backfire. They plan to start shooting in April and stress that they’ll have a cast ready within “three weeks” so there’s definitely more to come…soon.
