It was based on the short length films from the comedy trio and was directed by the Farrelly Brothers. Along with the Farrelly Brothers, Mike Ferone had co-written the film. The film was set in modern times and had come to fruition after over a decade of casting problems. 20th Century Fox were the distributors of the film.

The Three Little Stooges- What we know so far

The film was earlier planned to be a sequel to The Three Stooges. Chris Diamantopoulos, Sean Hayes, and Will Sasso would have been reprising their respective roles. The film was announced in 2015, and production was supposed to begin in 2018. Cameron Fay was hired to write the script for the sequel. However, the plans for a sequel were abandoned. A prequel movie, instead of a sequel, was announced. Cameron Fay also announced on Twitter that he was no longer working on the film.

No, sadly I haven’t worked on that one for a while. Last I heard they had brought in a “Stooge expert” to rewrite my draft. But don’t know what the status is beyond that.
