Once A Stooge Always A....

The Boston Herald via Cinematical reports that Sean Penn is rethinking his decision to leave the Three Stooges film.

Penn was due to star in the movie based on 1930s comedy icons Moe Howard, Curly Howard and Larry Fine, which will be helmed by directing duo the Farrelly brothers.

The Oscar-winner had been signed to play Larry opposite Benicio Del Toro as Moe, and Jim Carrey, who was reportedly in talks to play Curly.

But Penn quit the project in June after reconciling with wife Robin Wright Penn, vowing to take a break from movies to help fix his marriage. The couple finally called it quits in August after Wright Penn filed divorce papers and now it seems that he is throwing himself back into work.

Bobby Farrelly confirmed Penn is back on board the Stooges project, but they're still looking to fill the role of Curly, says the Herald article.

Farrelly tells the newspaper, "We got him (Penn) back. He always said he wanted to do it after, you know, taking care of his family."
