Comic cohort brothers Peter and Bobby Farrelly will produce and direct a Three Stooges feature film at MGM, the trades announced today.
The siblings will renew their quest to channel the comic mayhem of the Three Stooges into a contemporary comedy for the studio.
Project marks an MGM homecoming for the Stooges as well as the Farrellys, who spent five years trying to make the Stooges movie at Warner Bros. The Farrellys will polish the script they wrote with Michael Cerrone and will direct the picture.
It also marks another homecoming for the Stooges at Sony or Columbia Pictures, which produced many of their short features in the 1930s and ’40s.
