This sounds thoroughly INSANE . . . but it's being reported by "Variety" . . . which is also known as the SHOWBIZ BIBLE . . . so we really have no choice but to believe it.
As you know, the FARRELLY BROTHERS . . . the men responsible for such comedy classics as "Dumb & Dumber" and "There's Something About Mary" . . . are working on a THREE STOOGES movie. It's not a biography. It's an ALL-NEW STOOGES ADVENTURE . . . with a new cast of Stooges.
And since it was announced a decade ago . . . (--Yes, it's taken this long to get this thing off the ground) . . . there's been all manner of speculation about the casting. Well, now we know a little more.
SEAN PENN is reportedly locked in to play LARRY . . . the curly-haired, middle stooge. And they're hoping to get BENICIO DEL TORO to play MOE, the leader of the stooges.
These sound like bizarre casting choices, but if you think about it, Sean and Benicio really, REALLY look like Larry and Moe.
But their choice for Curly is a little bit out of left field. They're in negotiations with . . . JIM CARREY. (???)
I get that Jim could probably pull off a great Curly IMPRESSION . . . but how is he going to achieve the look??? The word is that he's going to gain 40 pounds for the role . . . if he takes it.
