Sean Penn has already shown the world that he can do an extraordinarily convincing job of playing a mentally challenged man (see also here), but now he’s taking on his biggest challenge yet: playing a character who’s actually pretty bright. Rumor has it that Spicoli is seriously considering the role of Albert Einstein in a joint Italian-American production, although so far, nothing is definite.

I would say more about this, but I’ve got a horrible migraine-like sensation that tells me the irony lobe of my brain just exploded. Even more ironically, the project seems utterly unnecessary, considering that the Einstein bio Sean Penn was born to star in was already screened nearly twenty years ago.
