Seems like it’s been years that we’ve been hearing about some sort of ‘Three Stooges’ movie … and that’s because we have. Once upon a time, people like Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn were actually involved with the project, but let’s get real for a second. Nobody ever expected to see Sean Penn playing a Stooge.
But now comes some intriguing word from The Wrap, and that word is this: Fox’s “short list” for the flick – which the studio recently took over from MGM, with Peter and Bobby Farrelly set to direct – now includes Johnny Knoxville (‘Jackass’), Andy Samberg (‘Hot Rod’) and an Australian comedian named Shane Jacobson, whom some may remember from the funny import called ‘Kenny.’](Kenny (2008) - Movie | Moviefone) For those who are unfamiliar with the actors’ appearances, or (gasp!) The Three Stooges, the tentative line-up would have Knoxville as Moe, Samberg as Larry and Jacobson as Curly.
