Studio Seeking 'Three Stooges' Dream Team

The casting for the remake of 'The Three Stooges' is underway, with MGM and the Farrelly brothers pursuing A-list actors to fill the comedic roles.

Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn is set to play Larry and funnyman Jim Carrey is in negotiations to play Curly. Meanwhile, the studio is still honing in on 'Che' actor Benicio Del Toro for the role of Moe, Variety reports.

The Farrelly brothers -- who wrote the script -- say the film is a comedy about the shenanigans that occurred while Larry Fine, Moe and Shemp Howard were performing in the Columbia Pictures shorts.

Production on the film is set to begin this fall and the release of the movie is expected to happen sometime in 2010.
