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.
For those who think this is a good idea, I have but two words: Brain Donors: one of the ten worst movies ever made (right up there with Howard the Duck).
(For those interested, the other two were Robin Hood: Men in Tights and Emmanuelle. Hey. I was in college and had never been to a porn flick. I've sat through accounting classes that were more exciting than Emmanuelle. As for why we didn't walk out of Howard the Duck, it's because Howard the Duck was one of Mr. Brilliant's favorite comic book series and he kept hoping it would get better. It didn't.)
