Nicholson and Freeman go toe-to-toe

Jack and Morgan will star in the creatively monikered new comedy 'The Bucket List'.

Jun 29 2006

Hollywood royalty Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are to team up on screen for a bittersweet comedy entitled 'The Bucket List'.

Written by Justin Zackman, the 'List' in question is a wish list written by two terminally ill cancer patients who are about to kick the 'Bucket'.

The film will revolve around their escape from hospital and their efforts to fulfil those final wishes, which include eating giant plates of caviar, racing fast cars and gambling in Monte Carlo.

Rob Reiner will direct 'The Bucket List', which is set to go into production in October.
