First Look Studios has picked up the film rights to "The Three Stooges" reports Variety.
In development for years, project was most recently set up at Warner Bros. Pictures, with the Farrelly brothers penning the script and attached to direct. Studio, however, let the option lapse.
First Look, working with C3 Entertainment, said it intends to stay true to the flavor of the original Stooges, who created their own brand of slapstick.
