'The Three Stooges' Films in Midtown

Production crews were in Midtown Tuesday to film the Farrelly brothers' new comedy "The Three Stooges."

Crews spent Tuesday morning filming at the 14th Street entrance to. In the afternoon, the team relocated to the sidewalk outside Colony Square at Peachtree and 14th streets. 

Filming on the movie began May 9, according to Ernie Malik, media coordinator. The film will be shot around Atlanta over 10 weeks, he said.

"We're all over the place," Malik said Tuesday. But this "could be the only day" production crews will be in Midtown.

"The Three Stooges" is inspired by the comedy act from the 1940s. 

"This happens to be a contemporary comedy," Malik said. "It's about three guys named Moe, Larry and Curly."

Moe is played by Chris Diamantopoulos. Larry is played by Sean Hayes of the television show "Will & Grace," and Curly by Will Sasso.

Other actors involved in the production include Sofia Vergara of the television show "Modern Family," Jane Lynch of "Glee," and Larry David of "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

Malik said this is the Farrelly brothers' second production in Atlanta. "The Three Stooges" will be released sometime in 2012, he said. 

"Atlanta right now is one of the busiest" places to film in the country, Malik said.
