The Boston Herald is reporting that Sean Penn has signed back on to play Larry in the Farrelly Brothers’ (There’s Something About Mary, Dumb and Dumber) Three Stooges film. If you guys remember, back in June we reported on how Penn had suddenly dropped out of the film due to some family problems. A couple of weeks later we then reported on how Paul Giamatti had replaced Penn to play Larry, while Jim Carrey was now no longer attached to play Curly in the film. However, Penn is definitely now back and as Bobby Farrelly says “We got him back. He always said he wanted to do it after,you know, taking care of his family”
To read my thoughts on a Three Stooges film and what The Farrelly Brothers have coming up next, hit the jump.

This Three Stooges film is one of those movies I’ve been hearing about for years. As much as I would actually really love to see a well done Three Stooges biopic, this is not what the Farrelly Brothers have in mind. Instead, the film will take place in the present day with all three actors dressing, looking, sounding, and slapping each other around exactly like The Three Stooges. This just makes me cringe, but yet makes me look forward to this movie even more. I feel that I can already see a Three Stooges biopic in my mind but I definitely can’t see Penn, Benecio Del Toro (who is still attached to play Moe), and whoever will end up playing Curly in a modern day slapstick Stooges film. This could either be a huge surprise, or an unbelievable train wreck. Either way, I’m definitely looking forward to it and I still think that Penn is an excellent choice for Larry. Plus, his casting just makes this film even more odd/wonderful in my mind.
However, this long in-development Three Stooges film will not be next for the Farrelly Brothers. Instead, the brothers will be directing Owen Wilson in the comedy, Hall Pass, next. The film, which will start shooting in Atlanta next month, is about “a ho-hum hubby whose wife, looking to spice up their sex life, gives him a “pass” to play the field for a week.”
My guess is that this Three Stooges film would then come after. Yet, they still don’t have an actor signed on to play Curly. Feel free to leave a comment with any suggestions of who you would like to see in the role because I can’t think of anyone.

Any word on the “Untitled Peter Farrelly/Charles Wessler Project” which is “A feature-film comprised of short comedy segments”? Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet filmed a segment for it in October. It's listed as being in post-production on IMDB.
Michael Chiklis was great in the tv movie from a few years back. It's been long enough, just cast him. Although I agree they should just make a biopic. Considering all the crap those guys went through, it could make for a pretty good dramedy. As long they put a significant emphasis on the comedy part of the made up word.
I would like to see jim carrey to play curly but he do play curly i like to see frank caliendo please please
I do a great Curly immitation, and am confident that I could do the part
if given the chance!!
My cousin is a casting director out in California, and on a hunch used my name
as the first character killed in the movie, thanks couz!! She is Lisa Beach, and
her brothers are in entertainment industry as well, Reb is lead guitarist for the
band Winger, and John does voiceovers in New York under the name “The Voiceguy”
so why not take a chance on a newcomer?
Forgot to say that the movie that I am killed off immediately is Scream, the
original one.

Makeup works wonders, perfect example is Jim Carrey as the Grinch. I do
not have much hair anyway, so make me look like Curly, and show me the
script!!

Michael Chiklis (forgive me if i spelled his name wrong) was supperb as Curly in the three stooges tv film back in 2000 i think he will be great in the theatrical version as well, he really did the soup scene down to a T, C'mon Farellys lets get Mike signed on.
