No Stooge for you!
Well, I probably would have been disappointed anyway:... stuff about other things snipped:
Penn drops Stooges, Cartel films for personal time-out
Last Updated: Wednesday, June 17, 2009
Comedy fans eager to see Academy Award-winner Sean Penn as one of the Three Stooges appear to be out of luck, as the actor has dropped out of his upcoming film projects.
Penn, who won Oscars for his roles in Mystic River and Milk, is taking a break from acting and withdrawing from the Farrelly Brothers' film The Three Stooges as well as the crime thriller Cartel, a spokeswoman for the actor has confirmed.
Mara Buxbaum did not give a reason for the decision, but added that if the start dates of the productions were postponed, the actor could remain involved.
According to industry reports, Penn, 48, is taking an extended leave from Hollywood to deal with personal issues. [snip]
The Stooges project is a longtime labour of love for the Farrellys, who garnered much buzz in March with news that Penn had been cast as Larry, Jim Carrey as Curly and Benicio del Toro as Moe.
Before Penn's announcement, the comedy had been slated to start filming in August and released in 2010.
