Warner Bros. has committed to finance and distribute THE BUCKET LIST, closing deals with Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman and director Rob Reiner for a late October production start, reports Variety.
Nicholson and Freeman will play two men who break out of a ward for terminal cancer patients and embark on a road trip, knocking items off a list of things they want to do before kicking the bucket. Justin Zackham penned the script.
