Ironclad

Even before its opening narration has finished, we’re told who Ironclad’s dastardly villain is and the opposition he’s up against.

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. It is the Farrelly Brothers' Three Stooges, and their casting process looks as chaotic as, well, a true Stooges film should be. ...  read more
