Variety is reporting that Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are set to star in The Bucket List for director Rob Reiner with a studio deal set to be finalized in the coming week.
The film’s title refers to a wish list that two terminally ill men try to fulfill before each kicks the bucket. After they break out of a cancer ward, they head off on a road trip with an itinerary that includes racing cars, eating giant plates of caviar and slinging poker chips in Monte Carlo.
Justin Zackman wrote the script and the film is eyeing an October production start.
