Morgan Freeman, Peter Segal Teaming for Comedy

November 1, 2009

Warner Bros. Pictures is picking up an untitled comedy script by Josh Cagan and Greg Coolidge to which Morgan Freeman is attached to star and Peter Segal is eying to direct, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The script, which had a working title of "Dirty Old Men," revolves around an aging playboy who finally meets the love of his life and his best friend and wingman for the past 40 years (Freeman) who does everything to break up the new couple.

The trade says the tone is described as similar to Wedding Crashers and The 40-Year-Old Virgin. It adds that the studio would love to have Morgan Freeman reteam with his The Bucket List co-star Jack Nicholson on the film.

I was just thinking that Jack Nicholson would be great for the role as I was reading it. Hope it's good. It'd be great to see Morgan Freeman in a comedy.

sounds like Jack Nicholson's job...again, as much as I LOVED their joint performance in bucket list...can we think about someone else? as far as I know Jack isn't even interested in acting now...he's interested in Lakers winning another championship :) so my point is, don't jump to conclusion too quick

Not that I wouldn't want to see this movie, but I don't see Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson as being as young and carefree as Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Steve Carell. But I'm open to anything.
