A few days ago, Variety reported that 20th Century Fox and the Farrelly brothers were interested in casting Johnny Knoxville in the role of Moe in the upcoming Three Stooges movie. No negotiations had taken place, and now THR is reporting that Knoxville won’t be starring in the film:
…[I]nsiders close to the film say that while Knoxville expressed some interest in the project, negotiations with 20th Century Fox never commenced and an offer to join the film was never made. Instead, the CAA and 3 Arts-repped Knoxville is weighing a couple of projects at Paramount, which made the Jackass films.
