Three Stooges Remake in Trouble

Uh-oh! Sean Penn has dropped out of the Farrelly Brother's newest project, a remake of the beloved Three Stooges. Since the cast announcements earlier this winter there has been a lot of anticipation for the film. Moe is to be played by Benicio del Toro, Curly by Jim Carrey and Larry was to be portrayed by the now retreating Sean Penn. That was a winner cast, one that made me feel much more comfortable about the Farrelly Brother's directing. I personally haven't found anything they've done appealing since 2000's Me, Myself & Irene. Regardless, now there is a rather large spot to fill unless of course they decide to wait out Penn's staycation? Maybe not the worst idea. The only other Larry nominee I can come up with is David Paymer.

What do we think world?
