John Turteltaub On Last Vegas

Pointing senior citizens' stag nightEighteen several days ago the purchase ended up being to Jack Nicholson to star inside the geriatric bachelor party movie Last Vegas. It seems as if he either passed or possibly is biding his time, but Last Vegas has acquired a director, in National Treasure's John Turteltaub. It's been all change towards the top, since Turteltaub is altering Peter Chelsom (Shall We Dance, Hannah Montana) which has departed for reasons unspecified. Turteltaub will get a script by Serta Fogelman (Cars, Bolt, Crazy Stupid Love) four extended out-of-touch pals within the 50s who reunite in Vegas for your wedding of Billy, the group's playboy and allegedly confirmed bachelor. The simple truth is, widower Paddy also takes a shine to Billy's lounge singer fiance.... It's Bachelor Party meets The Bucket List or perhaps the Hangover meets Inflammed Old Males or possibly a present to create lazy appear-bitey explanations from older films. The project is certainly going ahead at Mandate pictures, with Ray Mark (Dreamgirls) creating and Nathan Kahane (Juno) professional-creating. Nicholson aside (and Nicholson isn't within it yet), there's no cast up to now, but thinking about the truth that the director made both National Treasures as well as the Sorcerer's Apprentice, surely they can make room for Nicolas Cage to revisit the city that won him his Oscar.... A dishonest croupier maybe? Billy's wayward boy, along for your ride as well as the chicks?
