Ribadiamo la notiziola…
Fra l’altro, pochi giorni fa, postai questa notizia.
Sì, un ritorno in “senil” stile dell’ancor, a quanto pare, Mike Douglas che, proprio, nonostante la malattia molto debilitante, non intende affatto rinunciare al suo sessappiglio o, in questo caso, “giocarci sopra”.
Storia di “mandrilloni” nella capitale del vizio, per questo, “giocoso”, appunto Last Vegas, di Jon Turteltaub.
Storia di scapoloni che ancor se “le” contendono.
Da un po’, circolava voce che, anche Bob De Niro, potesse entrar nella “partita”.
Oggi, è proprio la CBS Films a darne l’annuncio ufficiale:
CBS Films and Good Universe announced today that two-time Oscar®-winner Robert De Niro will star in the comedy LAST VEGAS alongside two-time Oscar®-winner Michael Douglas.
Directed by Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure, While You Were Sleeping) from a screenplay by Dan Fogelman (Crazy, Stupid, Love, Tangled), LAST VEGAS is a comedy about four old friends who decide to throw a Las Vegas bachelor party for the only one of them who has remained single. De Niro will play the party-averse Paddy Connelly, who reluctantly agrees to fly to Vegas at the request of his friends. Douglas will play Billy Gerson, a lifelong bachelor, who has finally decided to take the plunge.
Good Universe, which launches its global sales operation in Cannes this month led by principal Joe Drake, is handling international sales. The ensemble comedy is being produced by Laurence Mark (Julie & Julia, Dreamgirls) and Amy Baer. Good Universe’s Nathan Kahane and Nicole Brown will executive produce. Matt Leonetti will co-produce.
Executive Vice President of Production Maria Faillace and Creative Executive Alex Ginno are overseeing the project for CBS Films.
Michael Douglas is represented by WME and Robert De Niro by CAA. Legal for Douglas is handled by Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP and legal for De Niro is handled by Grubman, Indursky & Schindler. Dan Freedman and Allison Mella Strina negotiated the deals for Good Universe.
De Niro, da quanto possiam “intuire”, interpreterà il rivale di Mike in “amore”.
Oggi, invece, riceviamo nota che anche il mitico Morgan Freeman sarà dei “giochi”:
CBS Films and Good Universe announced today that Oscar®-winner Morgan Freeman will join fellow Oscar®-winners Michael Douglas and Robert De Niro in the comedy LAST VEGAS.
Directed by Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure, While You Were Sleeping) from a screenplay by Dan Fogelman (Crazy, Stupid, Love, Tangled), LAST VEGAS is a comedy about four old friends who decide to throw a Las Vegas bachelor party for the only one of them who has remained single.
Freeman is set to play Archie Clay, an army veteran, who looks to escape the watchful eyes of his son and daughter-in-law and accompany his best friends on a trip to Vegas.
The ensemble comedy is being produced by Laurence Mark (Julie & Julia, Dreamgirls) and Amy Baer. Good Universe’s Nathan Kahane will executive produce along with Lawrence Grey. Matt Leonetti will co-produce.
Executive Vice President of Production Maria Faillace and Creative Executive Alex Ginno are overseeing the project for CBS Films. Nicole Brown is overseeing the project for Good Universe which is handling international sales.
Morgan Freeman is represented by CAA and his legal is handled by Sloane, Offer, Weber and Dern.
Rimane da stabilire, quindi, la “quarta incognita”.
Molti “promettono” Christopher Walken.
Vedremo…
