02.04.09 WELL THIS SEEMS UNLIKELY
EXCLUSIVE-TYPE UPDATE: I’ve got a source who says Billy West (famous voice actor from Futurama and Ren & Stimpy, among other things) is meeting with Sean Penn today and tomorrow to help him prep his Larry impression - so that part of the rumor is at least partially true. In related news, I’m going to go hit myself in the dick with a hammer now.
In what I hope is merely a strategy borrowed from the British tabloids (i.e., making shit up) InTouch Weekly is reporting that the Farrelly Brothers Three Stooges remake is looking to cast… Johnny Depp …and Sean Penn.
The 45-year-old Depp could soon be poking Sean Penn in the eye in the Farrelly brothers’ forthcoming comedy.
“They [it's unclear whether "they" means the studio or the Farrelys] want Johnny to play Moe and Sean Penn will be Larry — they’re still looking to cast Curly,” an insider says.
The Farrelly brothers will work on the Stooges movie after filming Walter the Farting Dog with the Jonas Brothers this spring [not if I kill you first -Ed.]. [via JustJared]
Wow, what a great idea! For Curly, maybe they can get Josh Brolin, or John Malkovich. It’ll be the most thespianically gifted Three Stooges ever! Moe will stomp on Curly’s toe and laugh, but with just his eyes he’ll be able to communicate that he’s only doing it out of anger at his father for drowning his pet turtle when he was 8. Sounds like a lot of fun.

They’re making a sequel to Milk?
A Three Stooges remake after a movie called Walter the Farting Dog with the Jonas Brothers?
Sounds like the Farrelly brothers are on the verge of a major comeback here, look out world.
Kevin James should be Curly. i mean, he’s box office gold, right?
Fuck, they may as well get Susan Sarandon for Curly.
Megan Fox Naked, Johnny Depp, Sean Penn in Three Stoogers? Maybe?
If this is a multiple choice question then I will still take A.
Depp: “Why I oughta” is a poorly worded question, don’t you think?
This is very disappointing.
I was hoping they’d use Shemp.
BTK, I think the photoshopping is wrong.
Depp and Penn wanted to play the Marx brothers, but they couldn’t agree on who would get to play Karl.
See here’s the thing…why the fuck would this ever happen? Sean Penn has not been in a comedy since I Am Sam. Wait that wasn’t a comedy?
Can you drown a turtle?
If the Farrellys go ahead with this, I will beat them like a DP who ruined my scene!
They haven’t cast Curly yet? Shit that’s the easy one. Two words -
Bobcat Goldthwait
You can sure as hell try.
yes, a desert turtle cisSta
It will be the most thespianically gifted Three Stooges ever!
Are you saying George Lopez will be playing Curly?
johnny dep could pull off a cool groucho marx but for Moe? i dont think so
I thought “drowing the turtle” meant anal…
a movie called Walter the Farting Dog with the Jonas Brothers
This is a joke, right? Wright? RITE? head explodes
Johnny Depp can do anything , and I will blow him after. Kill some babies? Ok, Johnny!
Jonas Brothers? Three Stooges? Are y’all thinking what I’m thinking?
/If you’re thinking about pussy, then yes, yes you are.
Bold move, casting two ‘mos before anybody else.
P.S. Nic Cage as Larry.
Curly will be played by
Robert Downey Jr. in Blackface.Tyler Perry in whiteface.cast michael clarke duncan for curly then count me in.
