WENN
According to Entertainment Weekly, the Milk Oscar winner will take a break from Hollywood to dedicate time to his marriage to Robin Wright Penn. The couple have been close to splitting twice in the last two years, with Penn filing for divorce on two occasions only to later dismiss them.
The move means that Penn will not appear in action thriller Cartel and may also bow out of The Three Stooges, the Farrelly Brothers' revival of the famed comedy trio that will star Jim Carrey and Benicio Del Toro.
Cartel is expected to move ahead without Penn, while MGM is considering whether to wait for the 48-year-old to return to acting or replace him. Paul Giamatti, Adrien Brody, Simon Pegg, Zach Galifianakis and Larry David are allegedly being considered to take on Penn's role as Larry Fine, says Hollywood Elsewhere.
Penn can next be seen in Terrence Malick's The Tree Of Life and in Fair Game, the story of outed CIA spy Valerie Plame.
