From Harvey Milk to Larry Fine?

If all goes according to plan, that’ll be (from left), Benicio Del Toro, Jim Carrey and Sean Penn.
The Farrelly Brothers have been trying to make a Three Stooges movie for years, and it looks like the cast is finally falling into place. And it’s a bit, shall we say, unexpected.
According a report in Variety, Sean Penn, who just won an Oscar for playing Harvey Milk in MILK, is going to take the role of Larry Fine. Jim Carrey is supposedly going to play Curly Howard, and pack 40 extra pounds onto his frame to convincingly portray the somewhat huskier Howard. And, in the role of Curly’s brother Moe, producers are reportedly trying to nab another Oscar winner, Benicio Del Toro.
Keep in mind this is not a serious biopic. It’s a comedy. And no, I’m not making this up.Â
