Paul Giamatti to Replace Sean Penn?

Filed under: Film Flickers > Sean Penn

Possibly, but not likely.

Since Sean Penn announced that he was dropping out of the Hollywood lights and the highly anticipated film Three Stooges, we've all been wondering who will replace him.

One rumor being thrown around suggests Paul Giamatti to play the iconic Larry character in the trio.

Brother directors Bobby and Peter Farrelly were recently interviewed and when Paul was mention, Bobby responded that he would make a "sensational Larry."

We can see it… kind of.

What do U think?

    Man, I am SO disappointed that Sean has dropped out of his role in Three Stooges. He was PERFECT for the role, and I was really looking forward to seeing the film because of his participation in it.

    the real story is Sean is NOT focusing on family (yeah right - since when?), but in rehab. He would be awful in this role - the most humourless man ever



  11. 11

    I Love Paul Giamatti; he's fabulous! And…in response to the "bar scuffle comments" also here…no one should be allowed to get away with hitting someone and trying to intimidate a journalist/blogger from being able to speak their opinion. We have a right to FREE SPEECH!



  15. 15

    Sean Penn is a jack ass!



  16. 16

    i confess that i was in love with sean peann when i was a little girl

    This is a classic role of a life time. Penn should reconsider. Big time.



  18. 18

    Don't ask how I know, but Brad Pitt is considering doing the movie. I think that that would be kind of funny/lame, but the movie is going to be lame anyway so might as well get Brad out of his comfort zone!



  19. 19

    Perez is a joke… search for blackeyedperez on cafepress



  20. 20

    Although sean penn looks more like Larry, hes a jerk. I hope paul does a good job if he gets it.



  21. 21

    Brazilllllliant! Bring on Paul G.!!!! Whooo-hoooooo!

    Go Pig Virus Go. You are a rare and exceptional talent.

    time to end this blog that tears down lives, start focusin on Mario and who he is as a man.



  26. 26

    Go Sean!



  27. 27

    No one should replace Sean, he is truly nutty! I spent 2 unforgettable hours with Sean Penn and Hunter S. Thompson one night. Read about it in COOKED in LA the book available on Amazon.



  28. 28

    SNITCHES GET STITCHES!! BOO-HOO MARIO



  29. 29

    Paul would do an amazing job!!!



  30. 30

    Sean Penn is not funny!
    Sean's love of HUGO CHAVEZ is funny!
    What a sour sack o' crap!
    He needs to hook up with Candy Spelling!



  31. 31

    wakey wakey, fatty! time to cencor ur haters!



  32. 32

    I hated the three stouges my whole life! There is absolutely nothing funny about three grown men constantly abusing each other and acting retarded!!!!!



  33. 33

    black eye to replace regular one?



  34. 34

    honestly i think it's goo he stepped away fromt he role. Eveyrthing I have ever seen sean penn, he has had a serious part. I think he is good at stuff like that. It would have been great to see him try at comedy, but i would think he'd do seriousness so much better



  35. 35

    Sean Penn is an Amazing person. I love how he takes things on that are wrong with this world. It's only natural that he would give up two movies to fix his family life. I agree with him, family first. I have such great respect for this man!



  36. 36

    Paul Giamatti is perfect for Larry! Screw Sean Penn!



  37. 37

    i see him more as curly…..



  38. 38

    retarded idea for a movie



  39. 39

    Nah, you can't replace Sean Penn.



  40. 40

    I still think Sean would have been really good, because he looks more like Larry than Paul, believe it or not. It's the massive nose that's got my bet.

    I'm sure Paul's humorous personality will fit the part good though.
