Deadline has learned that Morgan Freeman has been cast in COLD WARRIORS, a spy comedy from Millennium Entertainment. Raja Gosnell (SCOOBY-DOO, THE SMURFS) is attached to helm the film, which is about "a retired CIA agent (Freeman) who enlists the help of his video game programmer stepson to finish a Cold War era mission," and Gosnell will be directing from a script by IT'S A DISASTER and THE HAPPYTIME MURDERS scribe Todd Berger.

Next up for Millennium Entertainment is to find someone to play Freeman's character's stepson, a "gamer who forgoes a video game conference in Paris to join a search after he discovers that his stepfather is a former CIA agent." Deadline describes the storyline of COLD WARRIORS as "Taken meets Get Smart."
