Jennifer Hudson on Board for THREE STOOGES Film

According to Deadline.com, Jennifer Hudson is the latest star to join previously announced Larry David, Jane Lynch, Will Sasso, and Sean Hayes in the upcoming big screen adaptation of The Three Stooges. Collins will play Sister Rosemary.

Hudson came to prominence in 2004 as one of the finalists on the third season of American Idol coming in seventh place. She made her film debut in the 2006 film Dreamgirls, which won her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, a Golden Globe Award, a BAFTA Award, an NAACP Image Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

'The Three Stooges' was a hugely successful franchise of shorts, television episodes, and feature-length films beginning in the 1930s with lasting success even through today. The stooges originally consisted of Moe Howard, his brother Shemp (and later Curly), and Larry Fine.

The Farrelly Brothers film is being presented by 20th Century Fox; no release date has yet been set.
