Casting call to reform Stooges

[lowend1]

Nobody did Larry Fine's voice better than Billy West. They even made him up like Larry on the old Howard Stern TV show in the early 90s. Of course, he doesn't have the scary acting talent of Sean Penn, whose most memorable role is STILL that of Jeff Spicoli.

 So much of their appeal was the ability to take their Vaudville talents and make the transition to the big screen. I don't know how a new generation will react and if their are actors with those skills and are they nessesary  for I remake. Me I think they are. Though in thinking about it even when I was a kid the stooges were OLD stuff ! My Dad got a kick out of us watching them on TV he of course saw them in the theater in the late '20s and '40s, so maybe the their is another generation who are ripe for this kind of entertainment. I still love 'em nothing well ever top the originals, just classic.

There was a theater here in Northern NJ where we used to go on Friday nights to watch uncut Stooges and Little Rascals shorts back in the late 70s / early 80s.

I dont think I can ever except anyone else as the three Stooges, although I did enjoy the mini series awile back (by Mel Gibson?) about their story. That was pretty insightfull

I remember that one, too.  I was never a Stooges fan--although I'm well entrenched in the demographic--but for me, the press around this latest remake is going to be great, much better than the movie itself could ever be.  What would be better, IMHO, would be to go with Moe & Larry as cast, but for the Curly role they should do as a CG character, along the lines of the Hulk. The idea of this movie is so dada that they might as well go full bore to the total ludicrous.

There is one episode with BOTH Curly and Shemp.  It was after Curly had officially left.  It was a scene in an old West train.  Curly has a cameo (with a little hair) as a passenger reading a book.

If they're gonna go this far then let's speculate just for fun who they would be casting if there's a movie to be made about Laurel and Hardy.



If I would have it my way, I would cast Brent Spiner as Stan Laurel. Anybody who has seen the Star Trek episode in which Q makes Data Laugh knows why Spiner would be perfect to play Laurel.


And Jackass big guy Preston Lacy as Oliver Hardy. So why would I pick one of those madmen from Jackass to play Hardy? Because Preston lacy is the one who comes up with skits and stunts that are funny because of being funny, not painful or harming others.



Preston Lacy's finest moment in the second Jackass Movie.
