Ugh...The Three Stooges Trailer Debuts

If you couldn't tell by the headline, I'm not a real huge supporter of this film.  Too me, The Three Stooges were an ensemble group and not necessarily "characters" that could be recast.  Yea yea, I know, Curly replaced Shemp, who then replaced Curly, and was then replaced by Joe Besser and "Curly" Joe DeRita, but at least they were their own characterizations.  They were stand alone performers that added something new to the Stooges.  It wasn't like they were brought in to be the "new Darrin" or anything.

It's like getting four guys together and saying, "this is Paul, John, George and Ringo...they're the new Beetles."

But I digress...

The first trailer for the Farrelly Brothers' The Three Stooges film has arrived on iTunes Movie Trailers.  The film is said to be inspired by original Stooge shorts, breaking the story into three separate vignettes, following the boys from newborns left at an orphanage into adulthood.  The movie stars Sean Hayes, Chris Diamantopoulos and Will Sasso as Larry, Moe and Curly respectively, with a Jane Lynch, Larry David, Stephen Collins, Sofia Vergara and Jennifer Hudson in supporting roles.

The trailer looks to keep the slap-stick spirit of original Stooge shorts, which is nice, but to me there will only be one Moe, Larry and Curly.

What do you think of the trailer?  Do you think this is something that should have been made?  Let me know what you think in the comments below.
