If the Farrelly brothers get their way, a Three Stooges movie will be nyuk-nyuking into theaters soon.

Reported to consist of short vignettes tied together as a comedic compilation (think Paris, Je T’aime with more flour and face-slapping) the film would star four unknowns as the leads.

Four leads? Does that mean Shemp will star amongst the slap-happy trio? I hope not.

I have hoped and prayed that Hollywood would stop remaking films; that wish has yet to come true - and I wished that in 2001. Will this epidemic ever stop?

Still, the Farrelly brothers have more to worry about than critics scoffing at their decision to remake a classic project; most of them are still bashing the directing duo for their recent remake.

The good news (for fans of new ideas) is that Three Stooges: The Movie has been delayed numerous times since it was first announced in 2002. Let’s hope it sees a proper release the same day Guns N’ Roses release Chinese Democracy (read: not in this lifetime).
