Sean Penn, Jim Carrey, and Benicio Del Toro in 'The Three Stooges'?

Tags:

MGM and the Farrelly brothers have lined up Sean Penn to play Larry in their long-in-the-works movie, The Three Stooges, Variety reports. Jim Carrey is in negotiations to play Curly, a role for which he’d have to gain 40 pounds, and Benicio Del Toro is being eyed for Moe. The planned film is not a biopic; rather, it’s an updated take on the classic Three Stooges productions.

    This sounds like some scheme to lose tens of millions of dollars, like The Producers.

    I remember hearing about this production a few years ago when they were trying to line up Clooney and Larry David as two of the Stooges.
    This has ‘Ishtar’ written all over it.
