20th Century Fox takes over 'The Three Stooges' as Farrelly Bros. begin casting

Now that a U.S. Bankruptcy Court has approved MGM's financial-reorganization plan, Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation has taken over production on the Farrelly Brothers feature film "The Three Stooges". The Farrelly Brothers are based at 20th Century Fox.

At one point Jim Carrey, Sean Penn and Benicio del Toro were all cast to play the three lead roles in "The Three Stooges" movie. But after MGM's financial woes, those three pulled out of the project.

One of the film's producer/directors, Peter Farrelly, stated that ""The script is ready to go, and we are opening up these roles to the world right now, we'll make it with the best possible people. Our feeling is that no star is too big to audition and no matter who it is, we're going to have to see him in the role. This is not The Flintstones. You've got to be Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard, and that could be a major movie star or an unknown."

Auditions for the film will begin in January, 2011 and shooting is scheduled for a March 14, 2011 start date in Atlanta, GA.

To Be Cast

Story:

A modern day comedy following the misadventures of Moe, Larry, and Curly. The screenplay breaks the feature into four 20-minute shorts, in an approximation of the vaudeville and slapstick pioneers' most common format in the 1920s and '30s. The first episode establishes the bruising, boisterous brothers as 7-year-old castoffs who terrorize the nun-run orphanage that takes them in. Eventually forced to leave, Moe (the hostile leader), Larry (the jokey sidekick) and Curly (the childlike dimwit) try to find a place for themselves in a modern world.

The film's Producers Elliott Broidy and Rotimi Rainwater have partnered with the homeless shelter My Friends Place to raise funds for its activities. My Friend's Place is a nonprofit Resource Center offering a comprehensive continuum of care that includes free emergency resources such as food and clothing in combination with health, educational, and therapeutic services to over 1,800 homeless youth and their children each year. My Friends Place is a location for some of the shooting on "Sugar".

Casting for day players, extras, stand-ins, and photo doubles will continue throughout filming, which ends December 22, 2010.

"Sugar" is under SAG contract and will be released in late 2011.

Story:

A time travel thriller, set in a near future where time travel doesn't exist but will be invented in a few decades. It involves a group of killers (called Loopers) who work for a crime syndicate in the future. Their bosses send their targets hogtied and blindfolded back in time to the Loopers, and their job is to simply shoot them in the head and dispose of the body. So the target vanishes from the future and the Loopers dispose of a corpse that doesn't technically exist, a very clean system. The complicated plot involves a Looper named Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who works for this mob - called "the Gat Men," of the future. When he recognizes one victim as his future self (Bruce Willis), he hesitates, letting the man escape. In looper parlance, this is known as "letting the loop run" — and having a man from the future running around leads to other consequences. In order to save his immediate future, the man needs to track down and kill his future self, while his future self is trying to find and kill a young boy who is the key to his survival in the future. Emily Blunt will play the mother of the boy.
