I also plan on seeing this movie when it hits theatres, If not I will at least rent it on VCD or DVD when it comes to store shelves. Until then at least One can merely watch news of it.
Poor Larry's hair was not THAT bad... was it ?
Personally here is how I now see this movie
It isn't the Stooges, it is just a fans take on the Boys, Sure it may be a freaky one that makes zero sense whatsoever,
I recall the following quote from a family member of mine saying
"I'm a stooges fan, I got my sister into them too, she loves Shemp. So we got into a debate, and this is what came out. Lets take A Plumbing We Will Go. Its seventeen minutes long, and throughly enjoyable, every minute is a laugh. But then take that same short, and add another 60 or 70 minutes to it, its just not the same. Until Have Rocket Will Travel came out, the boys honed their craft at the shorts. Trying to make a movie out of one of the shorts would result as a disaster. However giving the Boys a script written for a movie and not a short turned into a movie, is a whole new ballgame, which they pulled off very well in their films, Rocket, Orbit and Snow White. Around the World in a Daze however I am questionable on. But they did well considering the movies were written with them in mind, not a short stretched into an hour long battle with boredom"
NOTE: I asked my family member in question if I could post the quote, as he doesn't have a computer nor get online often. He said I could as llong as he is unnamed.
So that said, and quoted above, if the Farrelly's don't use a short per sei and make a movie with the stooges as centeral characters with no relations ot a short at all, I think they could do it, only, it wont exactly be the Boys, it'll be lookalikes.
