UK Trailer and Poster for The Three Stooges Look as Bad as the Us Versions
28 May 2012 4:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
I’ve been slating everything that Fox have brought out for their new movie, The Three Stooges but when you see the trailer, you’ll hopefully see why as it looks terrible! That said, I’ve not actually seen it yet so maybe I should wait to judge it fully when it’s released August 22nd.
The Three Stooges comes from the same people who made Dumb and Dumber (The Farrelly Brothers) which you have to hope may redeem it slightly. The movie stars Jane Lynch, Sean Hayes, Stephen Collins, Chris Diamantopoulos, Larry David, Will Sasso.
Left on a nun’s doorstep, Larry, Curly and Moe grow up finger-poking, nyuk-nyuking and woo-woo-wooing their way to uncharted levels of knuckleheaded misadventure. Out to save their childhood home, only The Three Stooges could become embroiled in an oddball murder plot…while also stumbling into starring in a phenomenally successful TV reality show. »

Top 10: Sharpest Suits in Cinema
28 May 2012 3:00 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
To celebrate the return of the notorious, extra terrestrial busting black suits to the big screen in the eagerly anticipated Men in Black 3, LOVEFiLM asked over 3000 people to cast their vote for the sharpest suits in cinema. Daniel Craig’s sartorial choice as James Bond topped the style list with an impressive 30% of the vote, putting him streets ahead of Will Smith’s infamous black outfit from the Men in Black franchise, which made its way into second place with 20%. Taking third place in the style stakes (with a slightly less conventional look) is Heath Ledger as The Joker in The Dark Knight, whose menacing purple and green outfit snatched 17% of the vote.
Another colourful ensemble, Johnny Depp’s delectable Willy Wonka get up from Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, gained 8% of the vote, (glass) elevating him into an impressive fourth place in the chart. In a more garish image choice, »

Daniel Craig Tops Best Dressed Screen Star Poll
25 May 2012 9:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Daniel Craig has seen off competition from Will Smith and Johnny Depp to be named the best dressed screen star.
The British actor's sharp suits in the James Bond movies helped him top the poll for Lovefilm, and Smith's Men in Black agent alter-ego landed him second place.
Late star Heath Ledger came third for his eccentric Joker character in The Dark Knight, Depp was placed fourth for his turn in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, while Jim Carrey's outlandish outfits in Dumb and Dumber bumped him into fifth. »

Farrelly Brothers to Direct Dear Satan Holiday Film
9 May 2012 2:23 AM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
20th Century Fox has acquired "Dear Satan," a script by Dan Ewen that the Farrelly Brothers (The Three Stooges, Dumb and Dumber) are set to direct. Story follows a 7-year-old girl who accidentally misspells "Santa" and instead invites Satan to bring her a toy for Christmas. The inspiration for the script came from the writer's babysitting experience when a child in his care misspelled Santa's name on his yearly note to the North Pole. "There was this cute little card, covered in candy canes and glitter," said Ewen. "I fell in love with the idea of this note mistakenly being delivered to the Prince of Darkness and the fiery wackiness that would ensue." The Farrelly Brothers will next shoot "Dumb and Dumber 2" later this year. "Dear Satan" may come after and be in theaters by the 2013 holidays. »
The Farrelly Brothers Plan Dear Satan
8 May 2012 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
Peter and Bobby Farrelly have their sights set on a holiday-themed comedy with a twist. Variety reports that the sibling pair are planning on developing Dear Satan from screenwriter Dan Ewen. The plot of Satan involves a 7-year-old girl who, in an attempt to send Santa a Christmas letter, accidentally misspells his name and winds up inviting Satan to her holidays. The brothers most recently directed The Three Stooges for 20th Century Fox, where Satan is also set up. Their next film, set to shoot later this year, is the much-anticipated sequel, Dumb and Dumber 2 . »
New “Looper” Photos, Trailer

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is fast climbing the ranks into the upper echelon of cool in Hollywood. His newest starring vehicle is Rian Johnson’s Looper, in which Levitt and Bruce Willis play a younger and older version of the same hitman in a time travel mind bender, which also has Jeff Daniels (Dumb And Dumber), Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood) and Emily Blunt (The Adjustment Bureau) involved in a sweet cast. We still have a ways to wait, the movie doesn’t come out until September 28th, but a few new photos and a trailer with commentary from Rian Johnson (Brick) has been released to whet your appetite. The gallery of new shots, including the new poster, and the trailer are below, courtesy of Slashfilm.

Clueless
1 May 2012 12:31 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
There was a time when I used to consider Clueless the female-friendly version of Dumb and Dumber; while guys would gravitate to the Farrelly Brothers’ masterpiece of brilliant stupidity, girls would do the same with the shallow, selfishly shortsighted manipulations seen in Amy Heckerling’s Clueless. However, I eventually learned that comparison was unfair to the sexes, but more importantly, unfair to the two films in question. Dumb and Dumber has found universal appeal that Clueless never achieved, because the latter gets stuck on the idea that valley girls are stupidly selfish even in their altruism and bases its comedy on dated references and fads. Consequently, it loses any capacity for widespread appeal and doesn’t stand up to repeat viewings more than a decade down the road. Heckerling put a timestamp on her comedy and by that gauge its sense of humor has long since expired.

Dumb and Dumber 2: Where Will They Be Now?
17 April 2012 11:41 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
It's difficult to argue with the impact of a movie that you're still quoting nearly 20 years after its release. It's a little easier to argue against two grown men in powdered blue and neon orange suits, if it wasn't undeniably endearing in this case. What would a high school prom in the last couple decades have been without a couple Dumb and Dumber homages, after all? The dynamic duo is also responsible for the inevitable "Mockingbird" rendition during every road trip, not to mention influencing the default dialogue during every Big Gulps purchase in the last 18 years. Harry Dunne and Lloyd Christmas -- where would we be without you? Admittedly, it'd be easy to turn up my nose at this type of movie. I could claim something about being an adult and roll my eyes at the crude humor and ridiculous gags littering the landscape of the entire plot line. »

'Dumb and Dumber 2' to take place 18 years after first film
15 April 2012 12:43 PM, PDT | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Dumb and Dumber 2 will take place in the present day, co-director Peter Farrelly has confirmed. The upcoming sequel to the 1994 comedy starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels will take place over a decade after the original, rather than continuing where it last left off. "It picks up today. It's 17 or 18 years later. It's not like a month after that happened. It's today. And we explain what they've been doing all those years," Farrelly told The Huffington Post. However, he was unable to give any concrete plot details, saying: "I'm sorry to say, that's top secret." Farrelly added that he has yet to see the poorly-received prequel Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd, but that he has no hard feelings towards the film's makers. "You know, I (more) »

Weekend Report: Four-in-a-Row for 'The Hunger Games'
15 April 2012 11:38 AM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
Male moviegoers were split between the three new releases this weekend, which allowed the female-skewing Hunger Games to take the top spot at the box office for the fourth-consecutive frame. Among the new movies, The Three Stooges fared best, though The Cabin in the Woods also had a decent showing. Lockout, on the other hand, didn't even reach the modest levels of other recent Luc Besson productions. Without any breakout opener, the Top 12's combined $106.7 million gross was off nine percent from the same weekend last year.The Hunger Games eased 36 percent to $21.1 million, which is its best hold so far. It's the first movie to take the top spot for four weekends in a row since Avatar achieved this feat in January 2010. The Hunger Games currently ranks 22nd on the all-time domestic chart with $336.7 million, and it should have no problem ending its run with over $370 million. The Three Stooges »

Weekend Box Office: 'The Hunger Games' Dominates New Releases For Fourth Straight Weekend On Top
15 April 2012 9:09 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
The rest of the month may be comprised of releases desperate to avoid "The Avengers" and the onslaught of summer blockbusters. But few studios thought that their movies would become the meat in an 'Avengers'/"The Hunger Games" blockbuster sandwich, as the Lionsgate beast held remarkably steady in week four, suggesting that $400 million domestic may be in play after the film already crossed $500 million worldwide.
This weekend suggested that the film has quite a bit of juice left over. While brand offerings from the likes of Judd Apatow and Nicolas Sparks are set for release in the next couple of weeks, its not crazy to suggest the Gary Ross franchise-starter might run the table for the rest of the month, even if that seems incredibly far-fetched. Still, a less-than-40% drop and a $21 million gross in weekend four makes a case for "The Hunger Games" possibly being the most dominant blockbuster of the year. »

First trailer for Rian Johnson's Looper arrives online
13 April 2012 4:46 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
After what seemed to be an endless stream of teasers this past week, the first full-length trailer has arrived for Looper - the third feature from acclaimed writer-director Rian Johnson (Brick, The Brothers Bloom) - and while it looks to be a huge departure from his previous work, judging by the trailer it appears that Johnson is set to deliver once again.
Looper reunites Johnson with his Brick and The Brothers Bloom star Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The Dark Knight Rises), who leads the cast as Joe - an assassin or "looper" who specialises in killing targets sent back in time by a criminal organisation. Jgl is joined by Bruce Willis (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) as an older version of Joe, while the supporting cast also includes Emily Blunt (The Adjustment Bureau), Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood) and Jeff Daniels (Dumb and Dumber). Take a look at the synopsis, and check out the exciting first trailer below. »

Beyond Here Lies Nyukkin'
13 April 2012 3:08 PM, PDT | GreenCine Daily | See recent GreenCine Daily news »
by Vadim Rizov
The original proposed cast for the Farrelly brothers' feature was a dramatic power-house—Jim Carrey, Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn—that would've underscored every eye-gouge and double-slap with considerable darkness. After more than a decade of development delay, the resulting The Three Stooges is an angst-free 91 minutes, the zippiest Farrelly project since their '90s Dumb and Dumber heyday. Watching it is like being run over by a bus and liking it.
The Three Stooges have their admirers, but it's hard for anyone outside of 12-year-old boys to summon up much enthusiasm for them, your humble critic included. (Bob Dylan's a notable fan, for what it's worth.) The shorts repetitively cycle through permutations of pain on dingy black-and-white sets. Expanding this to feature length turns the Stooges into the Blues Brothers: raised by long-suffering nuns, they're forced to venture out into the world to raise $830,000 in »

Screen Rant’s Kofi Outlaw Reviews The Three Stooges
In their homage to the classic Three Stooges comedic trio, directors Bobby and Peter Farrelly (Dumb and Dumber) transport bumbling oafs Larry, Curly and their leader Moe into modern times as three strange-looking babes abandoned on the doorstep of an orphanage. For an emotional core, we’re treated to a setup in which a young Moe is nearly adopted by a caring couple – only to be traded for another boy when he insists that his Stooge brothers also be brought along for the good life.
From there the story breaks into three interlocking vignettes presented as individual Three Stooges episodes, in which Moe, Larry and Curly – now ...

The Three Stooges – The Review
12 April 2012 9:35 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Every decade or so, one or two film makers become a major force in cinema comedies. The 1980′s saw the influence of Zaz (Aka Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and David Zucker) starting with Airplane! and Ruthless People . For the last ten years or so Judd Apatow (40-year Old Virgin) and Todd Phillips (Old School) have ruled the comedy roost. In between there’s the Farrelly brothers (Peter and Bobby), former sitcom writers who invaded the multiplexes with the big box office laugh fests Dumb And Dumber and There’S Something About Mary (which opened the gates for the return of the R-rated movie comedy). When interviewed during their salad days, the guys related their affection for a decades old comedy team and vowed to bring them back to the big screen (they even appeared on a tribute NBC-tv special hosted by their Kingpin star Woody Harrelson).

Review: 'The Three Stooges' A Limp Homage To A Legendary Comedy Trio
12 April 2012 10:16 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
There doesn't seem to be a single pressing reason for the Farrelly Brothers to have made a Three Stooges-less movie titled "The Three Stooges." Bobby and Peter Farrelly's love of the Stooges is well-known, but they should have left well enough alone after "Dumb and Dumber," a superior and certainly easier to swallow Stooges homage. For starters, the three comedians in the Farrellys' new and more direct tribute's title roles just don't have any comedic chemistry. Geographically, the Farrellys' trio may be close-knit but beyond that, there's nothing to suggest that Sean Hayes, Will Sasso and Chris Diamantopoulos are an organically united group. It should be noted that there's also nothing categorically wrong with the Farrellys reusing their idols' routines. But if the actors playing the Stooges can't form a good, cohesive troupe of comedians, resurrecting Moe, Larry and Curly is pointless.

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg’s Next Comedy Has Its Team
11 April 2012 10:41 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg's follow-up to The Other Guys, a football comedy now titled 3 Mississippi (we liked Turkey Bowl better), will see a rewrite from Sean Anders and John Morris, with Anders tapped to direct. The duo have been involved with Hot Tub Time Machine, Mr. Popper’s Penguins, and, according to IMDb, the recently mostly confirmed Dumb and Dumber sequel's screenplay. Anders directed Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg's upcoming That's My Boy, as well. Wahlberg has been stocking up on so much work that his "I would've stopped 9/11" moment already feels like a distant memory, while Ferrell has Anchorman 2 on the way. The Hollywood Reporter writes that 3 Mississippi, which should begin production this autumn, "tells of the feud between two families over an annual Thanksgiving touch football game that has existed for 50 years," with Ferrell and Wahlberg playing the opposing coaches. »

Interview: The Three Stooges director Peter Farrelly
11 April 2012 5:41 PM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
The Farrelly Brothers have been synonymous with comedy ever since their surprise hit Dumb And Dumber. From the absurd to the crude, the brothers have created such films as There's Something About Mary, Kingpin and the recent Hall Pass. And finally, they are able to pay tribute to the legendary The Three Stooges in a way that only Peter and Bobby could. It is always terrific to talk to Peter Farrelly. He is a super cool, laid back dude with a wild sense of humor. We talked about how he has »
