YouTube Preview Image MGM says two-time Oscar winner Sean Penn has signed on to play Larry in the big-screen update of “The Three Stooges.”

The studio also says Jim Carrey is “in negotiations” to play Curly. Unconfirmed reports say Benicio Del Toro is being considered to play Moe.

MGM, the studio that featured the Stooges in a series of shorts and features, says it expects to begin filming this fall and the film should be released in 2010.

How much would you pay for the chance to poke Sean Penn in the eyes for two hours?

What is this? I thought they had already recast the Three Stooges with Olberman as Moe, Matthews as Curly, and Robert Gibbs (press sec) as Larry. Now those three are a laugh riot.

Sean Penn funny? He’s about as funny as a letter from the I.R.S.
