Jun 17 2009Attention: We've Lost a Stooge
The chances of finding Sean Penn jammed in a doorway with two other men has just radically decreased. Citing personal reasons, Milk has dropped out of both Asger Leth's Cartel and the Farrelly Brothers' Three Stooges, in which he was to play Larry alongside Jim Carrey's Curly and Benicio Del Toro's Moe. Variety notes it's unclear if the studio will wait out Penn's "personal reasons" or find someone even more unlikely-but-oddly-appropriate to fill out the trio. Maybe glue some hair tufts on the side of Dave Attell's head? Or just put absolutely anyone in this incredibly convincing mask.

Maybe they could try to find someone less likeable.
Wait, what am I thinking? That's obviously impossible.
I think this news benefits the production.

What will we do if this never gets made?? Oh! I know! We can watch one of the 190 short films the Stooges made.

There's probably just not enough chemistry in this role for him for the best performance.That's just fair.

All these actors and actresses are mainly chemistry junkies!
