This just in: news reports out of Hollywood are indicating that Morgan Freeman is a dirty old man.Or at least, he will be. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Freeman will play one of the lead roles in the upcoming Warner Bros. comedy 'Dirty Old Men.' Described as "similar to 'Wedding Crashers' and 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin'", 'Dirty Old Men' will showcase Freeman as a man trying to prevent his best friend, an aging playboy, from getting married.
While no deal has yet been reached, the report indicates that the studio has targeted Jack Nicholson for the role of Freeman's love-struck buddy, a move that would re-team Nicholson and Freeman for the first time since their popular 2007 comedy 'The Bucket List', which boasted a worldwide gross of $175 million.
The film will be developed by writers Josh Cagan ('Bandslam') and Greg Coolidge ('Cockblockers'), with Peter Segal ('Get Smart') a possibility to direct.

Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson? That would be so contrived it would be impossible to watch.

Morgan Freeman IS a dirty old man. He's been sleeping with his grand daughter for over 10 years!
