'Hall Pass' cast grows with Applegate, Milano

Bobby and Peter Farrelly's upcoming comedy "Hall Pass" has recruited four more actors: Christina Applegate, Alyssa Milano, Larry Campbell and Vanessa Angel. Already starring in the New Line Cinema production are Amanda Bynes, Jenna Fischer, Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis.

The film follows a married couple hoping to spice up their relationship when the wife (Fischer) gives her husband (Wilson) a pass to have sex with different people. Another couple does the same. Jason Sudeikis co-stars as Wilson's friend, the other man with a pass.

The Hollywood Reporter says Stephen Merchant, J.B. Smoove, Nicky Whelan and Derek Waters are also part of the cast. Applegate will soon be seen in "Going the Distance." Milano has "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend" coming up soon. You may know Campbell from "Accoriding to Jim."

Amanda Bynes returns in 'Hall Pass'

The cast for Bobby and Peter Farrelly's upcoming comedy "Hall Pass" is still growing, and the latest to join the party is Amanda Bynes, who last starred on the big screen in the stupid teen flick "Sydney White."

The film follows a married couple hoping to spice up their relationship when the wife (Jenna Fischer) gives her husband (Owen Wilson) a pass to have sex with different people. Another couple does the same.

Jason Sudeikis co-stars as Wilson's friend, the other man with a pass. Variety did not confirm what role Amanda Bynes will be playing exactly. My guess is she's a chick one of the men want to hook up with.

Owen Wilson joins new Farrelly comedy; Sean Penn retuns to 'Three Stooges'

Owen Wilson gets a pass for something, while Sean Penn reportedly returns to acting

A bunch of Farrelly news hit the Web today, starting with the announcement that Owen Wilson will join Jason Sudeikis in Bobby and Peter Farrelly's upcoming comedy "Hall Pass," which Fox threw out and New Line picked up in turnaround.

The Hollywood Reporter says the film will focus on a married couple planning to spice up their relationship by giving each other passes to have sex with different people. Wilson would play the husband, and Sudeikis would play his friend, who also receives a pass.

Meanwhile, Sean Penn is apparently part of the Farrellys' "The Three Stooges" again. The actor dropped out because he wanted to take some time off, but THR says Bobby recently said they got him back. It's unsure though when this film will actually head into production.

Wilson's voice was recently featured in "Fantastic Mr. Fox," and he will also appear in "Little Fockers." As for the Farrelly bros., they haven't done anything since "The Heartbreak Kid," which I hated. Here's to hoping they will make another funny movie or something.

Farrelly bros. to direct ‘Three Stooges’ flick

MGM is currently trying to acquire a Three Stooges project from Warner Bros. for Peter and Bobby Farrelly to direct.

According to THR, the studio is planning to develop the “The Three Stooges” as soon as possible, eyeing a Nov. 20, 2009 release.

The trade also says the script breaks the feature into four 20-minute shorts, in an approximation of the vaudeville and slapstick pioneers' most common format in the 1920s and '30s.

So, what have the Farrellys been up to lately? The last project they directed was 2007’s “The Heartbreak Kid,” a comedy I didn’t think was that funny.

Currently, the two helmers are also attached to direct “Walter the Farting Dog,” which will mark the big-screen debut of the Jonas Brothers. Jeez!
