‘Three Stooges’ Movie Teams Unlikely Trio
Are you ready for Sean Penn, Jim Carrey, and Benicio del Toro as Moe, Larry, and Curly? Three of the celebrity world’s most talented actors are being considered for the big screen revival of the “Three Stooges”.
Sean Penn has already signed on to play the role of Larry, and the word is that Carrey is close to sealing a deal to star as Curly. The comedic Carrey has already said he has plans to gain 40 pounds to more closely resemble the heavyweight character. Benecio del Toro is on top of the list as a potential Moe, leader of the masters of mahem.
The slap-stick frolicking of the three lovable characters is being turned into a potential big budget block buster by the Farrelly brothers, who have been interested in the project for several years. Peter and Bobbby Farrelly have already written a scrtpt, which Bobby refers to as “Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest”.
The producers are hoping for a fall 2010 release.
