Jack joins Brooks?

JoBloJoBlo

When I want a cookie, I go to my mom. When my mom wants a foot rub, she goes to Jack Nicholson. When Jack Nicholson wants an Oscar, he goes to James L. Brooks. Two of Nicholson’s three Oscars have come via Brooks films: 1983’s TERMS OF ENDEARMENT, and 1997’s AS GOOD AS IT GETS. Now perhaps another golden statuette is in Jack’s future, as he’s in talks to star alongside Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson, and Reese Witherspoon in Brooks’ untitled romantic comedy about a love triangle involving the three young ones, obviously. Nicholson would play the blueblood father of Rudd’s character, a role originally intended for Bill Murray. After Murray grew sour on the project, Brooks went to his old friend Jack to fill Murray’s shoes. Jack hasn’t signed anything yet but let’s face: Jack owes James. In a big way.
