MGM has signed Penn to play Larry Fine, while negotiations are currently underway for Carrey to take on the part of Jerome "Curly" Howard. The 'Yes Man' actor is apparently planning to gain 40 pounds for the role.
The Farrellys and MGM are targeting Del Toro to play Moe Howard.
According to Variety, the film will be a comedy based on the characters played by Moe, Larry and Curly rather than a traditional biopic of the comic trio.
It will be Penn's first comedy since 1989's We're No Angels. Shooting is scheduled to begin after Penn finishes work on action thriller Cartel later this year.
The Three Stooges is scheduled for release in 2010.
