Rob Reiner’s looking to bounce back from the fizzled Rumour Has It with The Bucket List.
And he’s already recruited a top cast – Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman will star, playing two terminally ill types who try to fulfil a wish list before they – to put it bluntly – kick the bucket. Escaping a cancer ward, they fire up a road trip including racing cars, eating the best good and betting in Monte Carlo.
Justin Zackham, who wrote and directed indie college comedy Going Greek, has penned the script, and while there’s no studio attached yet, a deal is apparently being worked out. After all, we can’t imagine one not getting on board with Nicholson signing up.
Reiner plans to crank the cameras in October.
