Jack Nicholson to star in Toni Erdmann remake - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

I suppose if you're gonna remake it the Wiig and Nicholson are as good a choices as any in Hollywood. They should get Lars von Trier to direct. Thank god Lena Dunham is no longer involved.

UltraMario9 · 05-02-2018, 05:26 AM

Now I'm really excited.

This is from last month, but I haven't seen it anywhere else...

Well, while I find "The Kids Are All Right" to be brutally overrated, I do enjoy Cholodenko a hell of a lot more than the poster child for extreme liberal narcissism, so

Jack Nicholson in what will likely be his last film role and his first in a decade, is more than "as good choices as any in Hollywood". Getting Nicholson to agree to this would be monumental.

God, I wish Nicholson would take the plunge. We need him on screen again.

There's only one other actor who would surprise me way more than Jack Nicholson for a Hollywood comeback.

I give him props for walking away when and how and why he did.

Jack Nicholson has left the project.

Hoke Moseley · 08-15-2018, 09:07 PM

Aw man... hopefully if this is still happening they cast someone good.

Hoke Moseley · 08-15-2018, 09:16 PM

Apparently Bill Murray was the first choice before Nicholson but he misplaced the script or something... and:

****in bummer, man. Some good choices in that replacement list, but all the hype for this movie was how it was such a great role to entice Nicholson to come out of retirement. I would’ve endured Wiig for that.

CyberpunkCentral · 08-15-2018, 09:21 PM

Looks like Jack Nicholson doesn't care about acting anymore. Either that, or he is extremely picky.

Wintendo · 08-15-2018, 09:23 PM

tom selleck

ted dansen

steve guttenberg

or have all 3 of them and make 3 men and a baby a trilogy

spanky87 · 08-15-2018, 09:24 PM

This was as good as it was gonna get for Nicholson to have one last hurrah.

Murray sounds perfect to me. I love Larry David but he can't really act (unless he's playing himself of course).

He's retired. Aside from a small part in How Do You Know for his friend James Brooks in 2010 he hasn't starred in a film since 2007's The Bucket List.

Not sure he’s ever had the chance, honestly. Pairing him and Wiig sounds pretty good to me.

Oddly enough, he replaced Murray last minute to bail Brooks out.
