The film making team of Peter and Bobby Farrelly are moving ahead with a big screen modernization of the classic comedy trio The Three Stooges!

Larry, Moe, and Curly are gonna make you howl with laughter. So who’s in the running to star in the flick?

Why Johnny Knoxville of course! The king Jackass himself is currently in talks to star as Moe Howard in the upcoming comedy.

I can’t tell you how funny it’ll be to see Knoxville in that ridiculous haircut of Moe’s!

It was originally reported that heavyweights Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn and Jim Carrey had their eyes on starring as the infamously funny trio.

But it seems likely that with Knoxville starring that the film makers are looking to generate a younger movie going crowd.

The Three Stooges will hit theaters sometime in 2012
