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.
Is Sean Penn auditioning for this? God I hope he is and when he doesn’t get the part I will use his tears of disappointment to fuck robin wright’s mouth while she reads lines from State of Play.
So i had to see for myself that “walter the farting dog” was a real movie, and not only did it have an IMDB page, but it listed one of the writers as Joel Cohen. Fortunately which i clicked on his name and remembered the real Joel Coen’s name has no H in it. Turns out this guy wrote such prestige pictures as Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties and Daddy Day Camp. Him and that Etan Cohen guy who was one of the many writers on Tropic Thunder should team up to and write direct and produce a movie together, they could easily con a dyslexic studio executive into making it. Especially if they find someone named cornac maccarthy write write a novel as source material.
Whasisname from The Shield should play Curly.
Micheal Stickless. hehe
Fuck this noise Johnny Depp. Bring me my fucking Dark Shadows movie NOW. It’s bad enough he’s still sucking Disney cock… I want my vampire.
V/Lance, you’ve put Sean Penn’s face over Curly, not Larry. Don’t even know yer Stooges. I’m disappointed in ya.
I know my stooges fine, I just didn’t want to spend all day trying to clone tool out Larry’s hair. Sorry for the inaccuracy.
I got three words:
Sam. I. Am.
Sean Penn taking a role that isn’t Oscar bait? I am shocked.
If my anus had a face, you would ask it for Sean Penn’s autograph.
Throw in a Dane Cook and make it “The Three Douches”
Pauly, everyone appreciated your anus’ efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Buttrina.
Sean Penn stares at the tip of his nose in order to walk straight.
Pauly’s anus can hold a balloon containing 21 Grams.
Chino, my anus is use to brown things in water.
They could’ve filmed me ‘working’ at my desk during my 5 minute lunchbreak, and called it “The Three Spoodges”.
If you put a dollar amount on shit, Sean Penn would do a movie for 10 poumds of money.
Pauly’s anus is just learning about Cuba and having some food.
Pauly’s anus has a love/hate relationship with Mr. Hand.
Sean Penn will purchase Joaquim Phoenix’s album for 2 poumds of money.
Pauly: “We bury our anuses here, Dave. We wash them clean.”
Pauly’s anus is also known as SpicHoley.
Pauly’s anus will blow out the candles on a birthday cake no matter who’s birthday it is.
Pauly’s anus says “hey butt, let’s party!”
Pauly’s anus can make entire Klingon-robber threads disappear!
(sorry, Pauly. I’ve never even met your anus … have I?)
