Hollywood Buzz: Penn and Depp as 3 Stooges, Pacino as Lear, Astro Boy photos

Wacky Rumor of the Day: Sean Penn and Johnny Depp as the Three Stooges (well, we’ll assume two of three). The Farrelly Brothers are behind the project.

The cast for Steven Spielberg’s “The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn” is set, with Jamie Bell, from “Billy Elliot” taking the title role. Daniel Craig will co-star as the Red Rackham.

Al Pacino is teaming with director Michael Radford to film one of the bard’s most famous plays – King Lear. The two did the Merchant of Venice in 2004, with Pacino as Shylock.

A couple of new Astro Boy shots popped up online today. Enjoy.

The Donnie Darko sequel is going straight to video. Wait, there was a sequel to Donnie Darko? When the frak did that happen? Apparently someone lured back Donnie’s sister for ‘S. Darko’. Lame. Here’s the trailer.
