Not a joke. Still, it made me laugh. According to the Hollywood trade newspaper Variety, Sean Penn -- an actor (despite his Spicoli in "Fast Times at Ridgmont High") better known for gravity than comedy -- is "attached" to a Farrelly Brothers screenplay about The Three Stooges. He would be Larry Fine.
Says the report: MGM and the Farrelly brothers are closing in on their cast for "The Three Stooges." Studio has set Sean Penn to play Larry, and negotiations are underway with Jim Carrey to play Curly, with the actor already making plans to gain 40 pounds to approximate the physical dimensions of Jerome "Curly" Howard. The studio is zeroing in on Benicio Del Toro to play Moe. The film is not a biopic, but rather a comedy built around the antics of the three characters that Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Howard played in the Columbia Pictures shorts."
Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.
Should Steve Martin play Shemp? Or should Jon Stewart?
Larry Fine, from Central High School! Maybe Will Ferrel should be involved. Him and Jim Carrey would be something. Just no Adam Sandler or any of his crew please!— burholme

- I don't care what Penn does I won't see it...he is a lover of anyone that hates the U.S. and to think he would be playing Larry Fine makes my stomach churn. Penn is an ungrateful lout...he takes from the U.S. with one hand and spits in its face at the same time. Funny I don't see him living in Cuba or Venezuela or Russia the places he covets. Hypocritical jerk.— Constance
- How about Ben Stiller as Moe and Will Ferrell as Curly?— kinkaid329
