    Jack starring in LASt VEGAS ?

    Jack starring in LASt VEGAS ?

    Jack Nicholson is being lined up to take on the role of a womanising playboy in the new comedy movie 'LASt VEGAS'.

    Jack - famous for his own hellraising ways and appetite for beautiful women - has been approached to take on the part in the film - dubbed a geriatric version of box office hit 'The Hangover' - and is believed to be keen to take it on. The script comes from red-hot screenwriter Dan Fogelman (Cars, Bolt).
     
    The plot follows four male friends who grew up in the 50s, and who reunite in Vegas to witness the last remaining bachelor among them, Billy (Nicholson), finally get married. If Jack takes the part, it would see the 73-year-old actor battle it out in the movie for the same woman as one of his old friends, a widower called Paddy.


    According to the script this would be Billy's introduction in the movie:

    These eyes have a spark in them. They belong to BILLY GERSON (70’s), every bit the mischievous imp he was as a young boy, a stark contrast to the others.

    CHYRON: MALIBU, CA.

    Billy speaks into a MIC, roasting someone, mid-story ...

    BILLY

    ... and you remember what I said, Ronnie? I said: “Ronnie, I know you’re down in the dumps. But as a fellow bachelor, let me assure you - you’ll bounce back. Because you may not be very smart, and you may not be very rich, but Pal: you sure are fucking ugly.”

    LAUGHTER. We PAN to RONNIE who sits in ...

    A COFFIN. Dead. Oh, Billy is giving a eulogy.



    Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman are rumoured to be in line for roles as well.

    Jack has most recently been working on 'How Do You Know', a romantic comedy where he stars alongside Reese Witherspoon and Owen Wilson.
     
    His casting in 'LASt VEGAS' has yet to be confirmed or denied by the production company, CBS films.

Well, hopefully, I will be at your side (your right) so that the show can be "hotter than a pussy in a pecker patch." lol. I hope to see you soon since everything says Now is the time... Being your Paramour has been more painful than becoming a widow.

Of Course, you do know that when I say no-one can play me but me, I do know that no-one can play you but you, which would undoubtably be another role that you make ... "FAMOUS!!!

""Lordy Cakes!!! Why no updates about this one?"

Does that mean you are FINALLY going to come for that talk so that we can continue our conversation, Jack?
