The Farrelly Brothers' 'The Three Stooges' Still in Works

Peter and Bobby Farrelly still have grand plans for their Three Stooges movie. In fact, production for the revamped film will begin March 14, 2011. This goes in the face of a recent statement from Jim Carrey, where he called The Three Stooges movie "dead". It certainly looked that way for a while, but the Farrelly brothers have switched production from the bankrupt MGM to 20th Century Fox, and now have the green light to get the film back on track.

The first step is finding a suitably hilarious and slapstick-worthy cast. Originally, the Farrellys had cast Carrey, Sean Penn, and Benicio Del Toro as Curly, Larry, and Moe, respectively. But after two years of delays, they are on the search for a new trio of physical comedy masters.
