Jim Carrey Out! Paul Giamatti In

Filed under: Film Flickers > Jim Carrey

Months ago, we reported that Paul Giamatti was one of the possible names being tossed around to replace Sean Penn in the new Three Stooges movie by the Farrelly brothers after Penn decided to pull out and take some time off from acting.

Well, now it has been confirmed by director Peter Farrelly himself. Paul will be stepping into the role of Larry, helping to complete the trio of the icon stooges.

The final piece of the puzzle lies with finding the appropriate Curly. The role was once rumored to go to Jim Carey, but that is no longer the case.

Do U have any suggestions?
