The good folks over at Warner Brothers have picked up a new spec comedy script by writers Josh Cagan and Greg Coolidge, titled Dirty Old Men. The script centers around two old “players”, one of which has finally met the love of his life, and the other, his best friend and wingman for the past 40 years, who is determined to break the relationship up at any cost. So, just another comedy script, eh? No sir! The flick so far has the ever busy and always entertaining Morgan Freeman attached to play the role of the wingman, and currently Warners are shooting for a reunion between Freeman and Jack Nicholson, his co-star of the 2007 comedy The Bucket List (which had the two playing a couple of old geezers trying to fulfill a list of their dreams before they kicked the bucket).

Nicholson isn’t the only one in demand though; the director that the Warners are trying to get on board is Peter Segal (Get Smart). The tone of the movie will supposedly be similar to that of The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Wedding Crashers. So what have the writers done before this seemingly ambitious project? Well, Cagan has previously written the screenplay for the dramedy Bandslam, which came out in theaters in the beginning of August this year and starred Vanessa Hudgens and Lisa Kudrow among others, and Coolidge wrote and directed the 2006 middle of the road comedy Employee of the Month. Not really all that impressive, but the Freeman factor alone will probably be enough for me to see it, and if they manage to get Nicholson and Segal onboard, it can’t go all wrong, can it? What do you think, will this be worth the price of admission, or should it be a DTV release? Sound off in the comments.
