Will Sasso

First Trailer for THE THREE STOOGES

Fox has released the first trailer for The Three Stooges, directed by the Farrelly Brothers.  Will Sasso, Sean Hayes, and Chris Diamantopoulos star as Curly, Moe, and Larry in the new feature, divided into three segments.  It looks awful, but in a fascinating way.  This has been a passion project for the Farrellys and the final result makes me wonder: could The Three Stooges ever work in the present day?  Doesn’t their slapstick seem quaint while their antics come off as obnoxious?  And yet there’s also something mean-spirited mixed in.  I’m sure the Farrellys thought, “Hey!  Let’s poke Snooki in the eyes!  That will put the audience on our side!”  I almost feel sorry for Snooki.  Almost.

The film also stars Jane Lynch, Sofia Vergara, Jennifer Hudson, and Larry David.  The Three Stooges opens on April 4, 2012.  Watch the trailer after the jump.

First Look at THE THREE STOOGES

A couple weeks ago, we showed you a couple glimpses of The Farrelly Brothers‘ The Three Stooges.  USA Today has now provided the first full look at Curly (Will Sasso), Larry (Sean Hayes) and Moe (Chris Diamantopoulos).  Sasso looks like Sasso, but Hayes and Diamantopoulos have definitely been transformed into their characters.  For those unfamiliar with the project, The Three Stooges isn’t a biopic or even one full narrative, but instead it stay true to the original shorts by having the film divided into three segments.  And even though the Farrelly Brothers have made their names on gross-out PG-13 and R-rated comedies, they have promised to keep this movie PG.  I can’t doubt the Farrellys devotion and admiration for The Three Stooges and hopefully that will translate to a movie that honors the characters and provides plenty of laughs.

Teaser Image and Poster for The Farrelly Brothers’ THE THREE STOOGES

The Farrelly Brothers’ almost have almost reached the finish line with their long-in-development passion-project, an adaptation of The Three Stooges.  The project was once a big-budget affair with Jim Carrey, Sean Penn, and Benecio Del Toro set to play the titular knuckleheads.  Then the project fell apart and looked pretty much dead until the Farrellys were able to resurrect it with far less expensive actors.  The movie now stars Sean Hayes as Larry, Chris Diamantopoulos as Moe, and Will Sasso as Curly, and we now have a glimpse of the actors in character (above) plus a silhouette poster bearing the tagline “Just Say Moe.”  You can’t really go wrong with a pun based on an outdated anti-drug slogan.

Hit the jump to check out the poster.  The film also stars Jane Lynch, Sofia Vergara, Jennifer Hudson, and Larry David.  The Three Stooges opens April 4, 2012.

New Picture of Sean Hayes as Larry in the Farrelly Brothers THREE STOOGES Movie

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: May 27th, 2011 at 2:54 am

With filming underway in Atlanta on the Farrelly Brothers Three Stooges movie, the other day we posted our first look at Larry (Sean Hayes) and Moe (Chris Diamantopoulos) on set.  However, we now have a much better look at Hayes as Larry.  If there was anyone who doubted that Hayes looked like Larry, this picture will silence the naysayers.  However, we still don’t know how he’ll play the character, but I’ve always thought Hayes was an underrated actor, and I think he’s going to nail it.

The Three Stooges will be comprised of three 27-minute segments (just like the originals), the first of which see them as children raising all kinds of hell in an orphanage.  Hit the jump for a better picture.

Will Sasso Is Curly in THE THREE STOOGES; Hank Azaria and James Marsden the Frontrunners to Play Moe and Larry

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: March 26th, 2011 at 2:10 pm

Will Sasso ($h*! My Dad Says) joined the endless casting discussion surrounding The Three Stooges earlier this week.  Yet unlike other Stooges reports, it actually led to something substantial.  THR reports that Sasso is the first official Stooge — the bald, rotund actor will obviously play Curly for the directing Farrelly Brothers.

Filming was once scheduled to begin in March, so at some point 20th Century Fox needs to stop the revolving door and hire a Moe and a Larry.  Hank Azaria (Love and Other Drugs) and James Marsden (Death at a Funeral) are the latest actors to be linked to the role, but I don’t recommend you let that register until a more official report.  More about the project after the break.

Will Sasso Joins THE THREE STOOGES Casting Race

Add Will Sasso ($#*! My Dad Says) to the list of potential actors who may be leading the Farrelly Brothers’ The Three Stooges.  THR reports that Sasso is a “likely frontrunner to play Moe, Larry or Curly”.  While I don’t doubt that Sasso has the comic range to play any of the Stooges, I think we can all agree that he would probably play Curly if he was cast in the film.

I’ve been a fan of Sasso’s ever since I saw him on MADtv back in the 90s and I’d be happy to see him land such a major role.  After the jump, you can check out Sasso in one of my favorite MADtv sketches, “Paul Timberman’s Workshop”.

$#*! MY DAD SAYS Series Premiere Review

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: September 23rd, 2010 at 6:47 am

To say that the new CBS comedy series $#*! My Dad Says is weakened by the fact that its source material is that of a Twitter-feed-turned-book would be irresponsible if only because it presumes that there isn’t an abundance of other problems that make the show an unbearable sitcom. If you’ve been enjoying William Shatner’s Priceline commercials and need something to watch with your grandparents then the show will likely tickle your funny bone. But if you’re like me and prefer your comedies lack a laughtrack while still sustaining quality hilarity, then stay far away from CBS on Thursday nights. Find out the real reason why $#*! is not only the title, but an apt description of the series, after the jump.

HATCHET Director Adam Green and GRACE Director Paul Solet Want to Interest You in a Fackin’ Jack Chop

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: October 28th, 2009 at 4:27 pm

It’s almost Halloween and you haven’t even started carving your pumpkin!  Using just a regular knife will be far too arduous and you’re starting to think of just picking up a plastic pumpkin from Wal-Mart.  Stop!  Adam Green and Paul Solet, the directors of “Hatchet” and “Grace”, respectively, have just the solution for you: Jack Chop!

Done in the style of an infomercial gone horribly wrong, Solet slathers his words in a thick New England accent and just lets the gore go to work.  Spewing profanities and the inability to die from blood loss, Solet may not make the best case for the Jack Chop but he definitely makes the video worth watching.  It reminded me of the MadTV sketch with Will Sasso as Paul Timberman, an equally accident-prone TV pitchman.  Hit the jump to see both videos.  I’ll even throw in a fackin’ glowstick.
