"MadTV's" Will Sasso is confirmed to star as Curly in Bobby and Peter Farrelly's casting-drama-filled project "The Three Stooges." With Sasso entering the "Stooges" project, once left vacant by the likes of Sean Penn, Jim Carrey, and Benicio Del Toro, the film is getting closer and closer to reality.

As for the other Stooges? Deadline is saying that Hank Azaria is the front-runner to play Moe. Great choice don't you think?

But I'm still scratching my head to the other rumored front-runner - James Marsden as the simple - minded Larry! Sure, he was funny in "Enchanted," but his dashing good looks could be detrimental. Both Sasso and Azaria could pass as their "Three Stooges" counterpart, but can you really imagine Marsden as Larry?

The Farrellys claimed that they are not doing a biopic of the Three Stooges but more along the line of their half-hour shorts. So this film will be a collection of three 30-minute films involving the antics of the "Three Stooges," much like the good, old days.
