Paul Giamatti Larry

The Farelly Brothers making THE THREE STOOGES Movie, by now all we can do is take a deep breath and surrender because this project is moving forward whether we like it or not, the good part is that The Farrellys are having a hard time of keeping their dream cast together. Not too long ago, Sean Penn who was supposed to play Larry, exited the project because of personal reasons, some say he’s taking a year off, I’d like to believe he came to his senses and realized that he made a wrong decision getting himself involved in this crapola so he said ‘See ya on the flip side’

Shortly after that co-director Peter Farelly expressed his concern that Penn’s departure might cause a domino effect. And voila! According to Boston.com, Jim Carrey who was supposed to gain weight and play Curly also said his farewell to the project.
But here’s what’s interesting… a couple of months ago, The Boston Herald recommended Paul Giamatti to replace Penn as Larry in the movie. Farelly said he’d love to have Paul but the offer already went out to someone else… Seems like somebody was bluffing because the same Boston.com also said that Paul Giamatti has signed on to be the new Larry.
Giamatti is a great chameleon actor and I have no doubt in his ability to disguise himself as Larry but it’s sad to know that he’s stooped low for this role.
Benicio Del Toro is still attached to play Moe but we’ll see how long he’ll last before changes his mind.
