This is kind of sad news for me. I love the Farrelly brother's earlier work such as Dumb & Dumber and There's Something About Mary. But as of late, their really just making below par movies. The Heartbreak Kid was seriously one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time (minus Danny McBride). And Stuck on You was pretty bad as well. So I was curious what kind of movie this would become. They promised it wouldn't be a Bio-Pic ala Ray, or Walk the Line.
The other intriguing part of the movie is its choice in casting. When was the last time you saw Sean Penn do anything that was funny?... Fast Times at Ridgemont High? So to see him as a comedy act would have been against the grain. He always does these super intense dramas. Same goes for Del Toro. The only thing I've seen him do that could even be considered comedy is The Usual Suspects, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas way back in 1998. And Carrey playing Curly is fascinating! It's rumored the Farrelly brothers want him to gain 70 pounds for the role. Holy shmoly! That should be cool.
So, as of now, there are only 2... stooges that is. We'll keep you up to date with all the latest as the movie is re-cast.
