Jim Carrey Out, Paul Giamatti in Farrelly Brother’s Three Stooges Movie?

The turmoil surrounding the Farrelly Brother’s movie The Three Stooges has hit a new level. Earlier this summer we reported that Sean Penn was taking a break from Hollywood and would therefore be dropping out of Three Stooges. Penn’s departure leaved an opening for the role of Larry which has now been filled by actor Paul Giamatti according to The Boston Globe. This project has appeared doomed from the start. Casting has taken a very long time and now news has broke that Jim Carrey has also left the production. There is no word yet as to why Carrey dropped out or who will be his replacement. Carrey was cast to play Curly and had reportedly gained weight to look the part. Now that Penn and Carrey are both out is this project ever going to see the light of day?

With all of the casting changes that have taken place the only constant cast member seems to be Benicio Del Toro who will play Moe. Now with Giamatti in, who will join him and Del Toro for this film? I was both shocked and excited when the news broke that Carrey, Penn, and Del Toro would be taking on the roles of the legendary comedic personalities. Obviously Carrey was a good choice, but the inclusion of Penn and Del Toro really brought some excitement to this movie.

Until we hear more news about who will be replacing Carrey, leave us your thoughts on who you think would be a good choice.
