The Farrelly brothers are doing their best to ensure that we never go to the movies again. Last week we reported their involvement in the farting dog movie. Now Variety reports that Bobby and Peter Farrelly “will renew their quest to channel the comic mayhem of the Three Stooges into a contemporary comedy.” If visions of Michael Chiklis as Curly are dancing (and slapping) in your head, Peter Farrelly would like to reassure you. “"It’s not a biopic. It takes place in present day, and they look, dress and sound exactly like the Stooges…When the economy started turning, we felt like the world could use a Stooges slapfest.” You know, he’s right. I do need a movie that won’t tempt me to spend any money.
Add another project to the 57 or so Steven Soderbergh already has in the works. With Che due in theaters and The Girlfriend Experience and Liberace on deck, Soderbergh will lend his name as executive producer to the mob movie Making Jack Falcone. Che screenwriter Peter Buchman will pen “the story of Joaquin ‘Jack’ Garcia, also known as Jack Falcone, a Cuban-American FBI agent who successfully went undercover in the Gambino crime family,” per The Hollywood Reporter.
Charlize Theron may co-star with Tom Cruise in The Tourist. She’d play “a female Interpol agent who uses an American tourist in an attempt to flush out an elusive criminal with whom she once had an affair,” per Variety. Just do what she says, Mr. Cruise.
