Found in: Culture, NewsPaul Giamatti in for Three Stooges Movie, Jim Carrey Out
Admittedly, we've already allotted a good bit of digital ink to a film that remains stunted in the pre-production stage (10 years and counting?), but it's not just The Three Stooges we're talking about here.

Film's always had its great directors, from Alfred Hitchcock to Quentin Tarantino, and its embarrassments, from Ed Wood to Uwe Boll. But rarely are the truly mediocre talents, the ones who fill out the rest of a studio's yearly output, celebrated for what they add to the field. For our day and age, there is perhaps no greater creator for mediocrity than Chris Columbus. The director of Home Alone 2 and Rent, Columbus has now announced the next project he plans on tapping with his magical wand of passable entertainment: Ripley's Believe It or Not.... read more
