Yet Another MarketSaw Exclusive Proven Correct! Farrelly Brothers And The Three Stooges

Well I told ya so! I love it when my sources come out smelling like roses and this one is awesome. MGM has an agreement in place with the Farrelly brothers to direct a modern Three Stooges. There was nothing in the announcement about the movie being in stereoscopic 3D however, which is strange to me because my source was adamant about it. So we shall see!

You want to know more about this exclusive info we received? Then what are you waiting for - check this post out and don't forget to highlight the white background within the post so you can see the spoilers. And there are definitely spoilers. Keep in mind that scripts can change, but the same writers are involved here (Farrellys and Michael Cerrone) so much of it would remain in my mind!

This is sweet. Knowing what they have planned and what folks are capable of with today's 3D technology - look out! And they have set a date - November 20th, 2009. Don't let us down Farrelly's! 3D all the way!

I will try to get back in touch with this particular source to verify the 3D aspect... stay tuned!

"The Three Stooges" 3D: Farrelly Brother's Casting Surprise & Spoiler Alert !

Again, exclusive to MarketSaw! Well hello. Gotta love "Christmas Caroler" to bits - he is on a tear and I love his spy info. He is buried deep in the trenches and so far his stuff has been gold. So, yes this is unofficial - but it is also officially AWESOME. This guy is in a position to know this stuff - that's all I can say.

We all love The Three Stooges. They were hilarious and helped us forget troubled times in the past - well as previously posted, they are coming back in 3D no less. The film is to be shot in Rhode Island and no dates have been set yet.

Peter and Bobby Farrelly are responsible for this deliverance along with Michael Cerrone who co-wrote. Well enough of the small talk - time to line up some fun:

**SPOILERS BELOW** Highlight the white text below to read the contents:

Wow - busy week. Here's the scoop!

GENERAL INFO:
- The movie is written like a TV show with ACT 1, ACT 2 and ACT 3.
- It is set back in time to follow the Stooges along their lives from children to their twenties.
- The Stooges are always slapping each other (kind of a no-brainer there).

ABOUT THE STOOGES:
- The pic starts off with the Stooges in an orphanage and tells how they got there and what pranks they play while there.
Right about now you should be thinking - well, how the heck does that work? Is it a story about them being kids? More on that soon!
- The story then follows them as they try to get on a film set!
- Ultimately they want to break in Hollywood for careers in the movies.

CASTING:
- We don't know who are cast as the Stooges yet.
- Elizabeth Taylor IS IN THE MOVIE.
- Many directors from that era make cameos in picture.

SPECIAL EFFECTS (And I don't mean 3D either!)
- The Three Stooges ALSO PLAY THEIR YOUNGER COUNTERPARTS! Through special effects, their bodies will be shrunk and faces made youthful to the ages of 7, 8 and 9 - the same actors that play the older Stooges who try to get on the film set are also the same actors who play the kids in the orphanage!!

STORYLINE:
- The Three Stooges meet Elizabeth Taylor who is all very "Spiritual" and extremely hilarious! Should be good for a few laughs! This is where the film comes into it's own - great character development!!
- Moe actually "operates" on a nun named Sister Bernice who is naturally unconscious but the kicker is Moe does this montage sequence when he was about nine years old! I didn't get the specifics of it but I do have a few ideas below...

MY CONJECTURE:
- From the information that was given to me it seems as though this movie is very ambitious from a comedic standpoint. I love how it seems that these three guys will be quite character driven because of all the history given by them in the orphanage.
- Imagine the hilarity the will ensue from this trio hooking up with Elizabeth Taylor (most likely a spiritual, religious figure in a Catholic church - perhaps a Mother Superior?) and exactly what would led up to Moe having to operate on a nun when he was so young? Obviously the orphanage was run by nuns? Perhaps he saved her life and thus started a storyline from that?
- There is much room for sequels as these guys are only in their twenties apparently! Plenty of room for more laughs.
- Can't wait for the special effects - Should be hilarious to see them as younger images of themselves - imagine all of their pranks and laughs done in 3D!

"Christmas Caroler" promises me he will try to get more info on this for us. There is talk from the Boston Globe that Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) is being eyed along with Ricky Gervais for lead roles. My interest is now definitely through the roof on this one now. How about you?

Farrelly Brothers to shoot "The Three Stooges" in 3D?

Well this is very interesting! After other failed attempts to resurrect the hallowed halls of Stoogedom - 3D is coming to the rescue of the trio of trouble.

Apparently the Farrelly brothers will be shooting the movie after they finish "Hall Pass" which incidentally may soon have Sacha Baron Cohen attached if they have their way. They are also looking at Elizabeth Banks to play one the "Hall Pass" wives who decides that if their husbands can't control themselves, then they should be free to cavort too.

The Farrelly's would shoot "The Three Stooges" in 3D in Rhode Island - no detail on dates yet.

Now this would be an experience! I was also thinking how much fun it would be to see the old 2D black and whites converted to 3D. If anybody could pull off this caper it would be the Farrellys. They can make me weep with laughter.
