Sean Penn: Drops out of films

Sean Penn will not be seen in films namely "The Three Stooges" or join "Cartel."

A spokesperson  for the Oscar winning actor said that he is dropping out of the films. However she  did not specify a reason. She only said  that in case the start dates of the productions were to be postponed, Penn would remain involved.

Penn was scheduled to star as Larry in "Three Stooges" and as a man protecting his son in "Cartel."

Last month, Sean Penn withdrew his petition to separate from Robin Wright Penn, his wife of thirteen  years. They filed for divorce in December 2007 . However he dismissed that petition quite a number of months later.

In February, they were together at the Academy Awards, where the forty eight year old actor won for his role in the drama titled "Milk."
